Keep walking


At your left as you ladies and gentlemen can see, we have a way where the dreams come true. And at your right, we have the sameness and the traditional boring things.

The famous roasting and dirty road of Guinea-Bissau, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is divided into two ways. You can not stop walking, as if a Johnnie Walker bottle orders: “keep walking!” Two ways to be follow. Make your choice.

At your left, as you ladies and gentlemen can see, we have a way where the dreams come true. It is where the other half of your orange can be found, where you can find what you have lost, it is where you can have everything you like in the place you always wished to... And at your right, we have the sameness and the traditional boring things.

You have chosen left...

Following the left way, you was going up higher and higher. You found shelter there, you started having hope again, started to dream again there, started to smiling again there. Through your veins was flowing the best feeling you can ever have.. Just some meters and you would be at the top of Everest mountain, or some degrees of the stairs that drives you to the starts. You would...

Suddenly everything got dark, you did no have time to understand anything. A motorcycle came flying and hit you on purpose, making you hit your face on the road and falling senseless.

Darkness.

The sky without the Moon and the starts. The blood flowing on the road this time. Through your veins, where once was flowing the best feeling of the world, now was flowing the worst. The one who ran over you was a dreams and hopes thief that uses to drive your victims to the top of the Everest mountain to throw them from there directly to Mariana Trench. From heaven to the hell. Not happy, he stole the victim’s heart, leaving a big hole inside her.

Recover, can you?

The victim tries to get rid of the trench she is. Too much pressure for her head that can not see the sunlight and feel the heat of the Sun. Questions without answers and the desperation to come back to the surface once more. Who is going to help you?

There is the fear, the trauma, the sequel, the scars, the emptiness.

While the victim suffers by herself flailing in the sea, the thief drinks French red wine in a fancy French restaurant. While the victim feels cold, the thief is being warm by the hopes and dreams he stole. While the scar does not close and the pain does not go away, the thief is feeling good to attack another one. The thief does not suffer, does not feel, does not listen, does not want a feedback, he ignores the pain he caused. He does not feel remorse and does not apologize.

The victim is emerging to the surface to come back the roasting and dirty road of Guinea-Bissau. It is the destiny. You can not stop it.

Keep walking!
