HUNTER

HUNTER It’s seven in the morning on the side table watch, I watch Maggie sleeping, her calm face, the lips slightly open, her bangs on her face and I think that I’m a lucky guy. Life tripped me a few times, but also gifted me with amazing brothers and a fantastic woman, that surprisingly faces my imperfect trajectory, broken and she still loves me and looks me with the same magic of the first time she saw me. I get up, take a long shower and as my sleepy girl still on Morpheus arms, I decide to run in the park and get back in time to have breakfast with her. I put on my running sweat pants, a low cut green shirt, my training sneakers, my headphones with selected James Brown songs and I quickly take the elevador,

Just by thinking of the problems this man can cause me, I already feel my body trembling in anger. And if he tells Maggie about me? I’m going to lose her when she finds out I’m a monster, like that miserable man said: ‘a freak’, a squeeze her tighter in my arms, the fear of losing her makes me even more possessive. With eyes still full of tears, she avoids looking at me. I hold her by her ass, keeping her tight on my lap, I go to a metal bench and sit to take a cold shower.

MAGGIE In the last couple of weeks I can in a word say what’s my physical state: deplorable. I have been feeling indisposed, I sleep a lot, I eat like an untamed animal and I have acquired compulsive gastronomical tastes. Yesterday, as an exemple, I put on my head I had to have Sandler’s fried chicken. I spend the afternoon in the clinic picturing those crispy drums sticks in my mouth, then, I got out of the clinic it was evening already and drove to the city entrance just to buy two buckets of crisps chicken thighs with hot sauce.
