II

27, October.

That day I confirm that I don’t care about anything.

I called her when I was in the cafe, I was smoking, and it was around 17:00 h.

She felt bad, she felt guilty. She wants to continue with her boyfriend and want us to be just friends again.

Fuck that, I thought.

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

—It`s ok, I said, but it`s better that we stop seeing each other, I`m have no interest in going out with you only  as a friend—.

That was the last time that Melissa and I talked about us. After the phone call, I finish my coffee, lit another cigarette and wrote something in my notebook:

“You can say that I´m pretty depressed, I mean nothing touch me, nothing move me, nothing matter. I was  in a karate tournament two days ago, my team won, we are national champions in kumite. I really don’t care about wining or losing.”

It has been more than five years. The book of Lawry made me browse in my old notebooks. There have not been many changes since then, I live in another city, I´m not training anymore. I keep writing and I work in newspaper: culture section. I wrote the movies and books reviews, and about the cultural events, and also I made some articles that I call miscellaneous. This week I think I going to write about Lawry treasure: The book of sand. Apparently unique in his kind.
