Benjamin | Soldier Boy

It was the 2000s and Mexico City was no place for someone like Benjamin
Too much noise
Too many people
Too much… mess
The car stopped in front of an area that was clearly not designed for it. Even so, he had insisted on getting out.
— Five minutes — he told the driver — I'm not going to die from walking.

He felt like something inside him was breaking down.
She walked among stalls, hanging fabrics, music clashing with each other. She frowned. Everything was… excessive.

Benjamin walked through the aisles of the open-air market with a frown, dodging people as if he were crossing unfamiliar territory.

Too many voices
Too many things… mixed together
He stopped dead in front of a stall.
Religious figures
Things I couldn't identify
He turned his head

Then clothes
Then more things
—Why is everything… the same? — he murmured, confused — Why is that next to… food?
He moved forward a little further, clearly lost.
"Why are they selling clothes for ten pesos...?" he added in a low voice, almost offended . "That doesn't make any sense."
