Umseting - Spanskt-Enskt - story 4

Anna and her sad shadow can often be seen slumped against the wall. That image appears in the double bed night after night. And it often reappears in the kitchen, or in the dining room. And basically in the sink while as she washes and dries her face. Anyone could see that this woman is living a nightmare. Except that she goes through her daily life wide awake, knowing that she could make a mistake at any moment. When she has a bit of free time during the day, she goes up to the fifth floor of the building to meet her neighbor. They are both avid fans of a television series. Afterwards she goes back down, and sometimes, not always, her son would come home around noon. The son doesn't have any money and neither does the mother, but she always manages to put a hot plate of food on the table for him. "The boy needs money", that's what she would say before and after scarfing down the food. Afterwards, when she turned her back for a moment, the son would sneak into his mother's wallet.
