SanlĂșcar

He would always say that nobody would catch him. So damned poor they were when we went to school together, they wouldn't even have for shoes. Now his empire, built upon drugs, overlooks our town and the sea.

Three days ago he was kidnapped. That's what the family says and suffers. All we know what has really happened. Our city eating its sons and daughters. The night takes those who become too big. Silent crime, leaving silent houses. Silent nights, broken by some unbearable crying.

Sunday night I passed by the house, walking on the beach in full moonlight. Dangerous place to live, dangerous moments to be. But that's my beach too. With the blue of the truth in my steps, and with shoes from two summers ago destroying my back.

Deep is the nature of man. Deep is my look into your eyes. You said "I'll get sooo rich" and opened your tiny arms of a eight year old boy to embrace the world.

I then didn't understand what you meant. Still now I can't. The only thing I know for true, is that you will never come back from where they took you to.

Neo-noir: it works for me. It's sad to see the arc of a childhood friend's life fulfilled.
