The alarm clock was set at 7.00 am, like every other morning, after all. However, this time too it was anticipated by the voice of the child, who called him from the cradle next to the bed, reminding him that a new week had begun. By absent-mindedly following a script that presented itself infinitely equal, as if that routine had a memory, Max took the baby in his arms, smiled at his sleepy gaze and laid him next to his mother, before going to the bathroom.

He turned on the phone, distractedly read some news, gave a quick glance at the mails, and then went to the sink. Once again, he saw those tired hazel eyes in the mirror, smoothed his shaggy beard, ran a hand through his hair, as if to make sure they were still there, took a deep breath and undressed.

Even the hot shower was nothing but a part of the automatism that governed those last months of his life, the roar of water accompanied his thoughts, far from that cabin, kidnapped by a subtle, cold, inexorable anguish. Addicted to that feeling of impotence, like a tiger for too long in a cage, he huffed deeply, staring at the wall, while with his hand looked for the bathrobe next to the radiator. Dried himself, he got dressed and went back to the bedroom. In the dark he took the chronograph and the ring on the bedside table and put them on, kissed his wife, stroked the baby, took his bag and left.

He pulled the car in front of the bar, took the wallet from the passenger seat and headed inside. In that gray and dull place, a couple of patrons were eating breakfast in silence.
