When you arrive at the office, you begin to review your trading positions, and you expect to have won something, since the monthly expenses are coming and you still have not been able to make the money, when the electricity goes out, and you decide that until there I arrived your day, you must make two or three purchases and start the journey home.

You buy a laundry soap and corn flour, because you have a friend in a store, who keeps them and resells them, you pay about 12,000,000 (almost 3 minimum wages)

hurry step, because it is getting dark and crime is hard on the way home, so it is better to hurry the step and decide not to take the subway, because it takes hours and appeals to a "Mototaxi", do not generate a lot of confidence, and you do not like the smell that you have left, but it is better than public transport, since you do not have cash to pay for it and you have already stolen 2 cell phones there.



You arrive home and have not put the water yet, but the Internet has returned and the Rig is undermining. you had to win, today you will not wash your clothes, but hopefully you will make a few dollars, because tomorrow everything will be more expensive.

It's better to sleep now, because tomorrow can be a better day.

The part of Fabula, is that not only happens to a person, and does not speak of anyone in specific, is fable, or novel a generalized situation, but there are many aspects that I did not know how to put them in the story.

For example, today when I was driving through the Utopia, I saw a group of young people in the river that crosses the city of Caracas, it is not really the cleanest river in the world, there the black waters of the whole city end up, you know what they went there, looking for things of value that someone could have lost by a drain, I found out that they call them "the miners of the guaire" (name of the river)



I did not know how to reflect the people who see themselves in the streets eating from the garbage, I did not know how to integrate it into the story.



But the saddest thing is that I do not know how to reflect the other city, because yes, in Venezuela many realities are lived, like the first line Discos



And Quality restaurants



But there is no one reality, you have to train it at the end of your own experience and that is what makes it difficult to explain.
