Mars

you were lying quietly on your bed when you heard a noise on the first floor and went down to see a tall man at the threshold and then your aunt came in, as you understood, his mother, your mother came to the threshold and introduced the man to you, it turned out that her friend had come to visit her with her son, supposedly so that he would sit with you, that he was bored at home and all his friends had gone to the villages to visit their grandmothers so you met and went into the room, how did you find out his name was Mars, who was 26... well, it's only a 10-year difference, what's wrong with that, you thought, chatting, you realized that it was already midnight and his mother was lying drunk and sleeping on the couch in the living room, and he, realizing that the house couldn't drag her away, asked to spend the night here, of course you allowed it and brought him a folding bed, giving him a sheet and a blanket with a pillow. in the morning you got up noticing that mars was sleeping, went to the kitchen and made tea and when you returned to the room mars was sitting on the bed and staring at the floor not quite understanding who he was, what he was and where he was, but when he noticed you he smiled easily and said

• What's down there? Are they still drunk? said Mars
