While "We never know where it leads our way ..." firmly imposed upon me, I've come the end of this, I started &d, enoughtohurt, fl1789, hoosier67, marianv, rt_in_town, soul, torry28 ... and all those who, for about a chapter I have said in English.
=========
When they pass the whooping cranes.
Joshua Recruited via the feed supply stores and maintenance of the stable of the brothers and Mathias Rampelberg Messala, "Double M", as indicated by the elegant sign, Ennis was not perceived the over time. Left home at dawn and often reached when the sun had set long-standing.
Your new trnt Dr. Uriah Fogg:
- "Unfortunately Ennis, you must be prepared for the most inescapable reality, if not one, will be another, but I can assure that the poor Josh was taken away more quickly than suppose, one of three serious diseases. "
Such were their words short and gloomy as a warning.
same day, Ennis decided to finish a few hours earlier. Messala, the most comprehensive of the two brothers Rampelberg, did not put the least resistance, so that a week after his last visit, he arrived about five o'clock in the afternoon to Josh's house.
Al entrar by the kitchen door as he used to do, which was not surprised to be face to face with Felicity Price, a nurse.
- "What happens?" - Inquired Ennis sensing bad news. Ennis
not ask anything more, the expressive eyes of the nurse, was the tinder that sparked his uneasiness smugly, without further ado, ran up the stairs conducíaa the top floor of the house, reach the corridor, saw that the door of the room, as usual, stood open, as Josh was suffering from claustrophobia.
seeing him lying on his pillows, Ennassume that Joshua was asleep.
- 'Ennis, you should rest a few hours, lie a moment in the next room and rest, your presence is not necessary at this time. "
Overcome by fatigue, Ennis quickly gave a troubled sleep. =========
The little clock that rested on the left side of the chest, showed a quarter to six in the morning. For the sale of his room ajar, Josh watched the dairy circle the moon, suspended in a pale blue sky clear and cloudless, fading & aspectacle of life.
waited spellbound that peeked through the tops of the mountains to greet the sun and its radiant light of the valley. At the exact moment when the first ray of sun came through the mountain peaks lighting the tops of the pines with his blinding brilliance, an elegant migratory flight of a magnificent white cranes, crossed the sky.
convinced, because I believed in omens, the day began well, Joshua smiled.
For that reason and without much fear, stoically endured the sharp pang hit him, because he attributed the blame on the morning chill. For often, not to say that whenever con more gradually with increasing frequency and virulence, suffered attacks that left him in a state of exhaustion near unconsciousness. But this time seemed different, I had never experienced pain like that. A pain that covered his entire body. Oddly
lucid, in that fleeting moment of tenderness thought. "So true."
Without interruption, undertaken by a brilliant and terrifying upheaval caused by paralysis of respiratory muscles, desperately gasped, clenched his fists ...
Suddenly livide; to both, the memory of a show. Ennis with his rifle on his shoulder, one eye closed the other aimed at the target, and against him, Jack, who looked pleased with a monumental sugar cotton candy in hand.
Lying full length on his bed, Jack sensitive in the small house her mother listened to tinker in the kitchen, soon called for him to come down to breakfast with her. Well after a recent separation Lureen, and after the death of his father, Jack often spent most of his time with his mother.
He sat on the bed not wanting to make the slightest effort. Convinced that since the funeral ceremony of Joshua, Ennis had cas toast with butter, stroked her hair, then with slow gesture, he pushed his plate.
- "Solo breast coffee, just coffee."
- "Son, eat at least one toast, please, do not lose hope, you'll see, I have a hunch that you will soon Ennis ; hear from him. "
Grace stared his son's restless and he could read in his face confusióny suffering, suddenly alarmed that Ennis accept distrusted one day to mate with him.
- "Mama, I had a strange dream, I dreamed that Mike looked at me without speaking, always smiling & eacuyou; ndome finally moved his lips but did not understand what I said.
Grace waited in silence for a long time with its elegant hand stroking Jack's finally emerging from its torpor and as usual spoke softly.
- "I remember the neighbors often mysteriously came home and told them his dreams of my grandmother, apparently had the grace to know how to translate them. I, intrigued not understand why I listened very carefully ... Well, if I remember correctly, dreaming dead bodes well, especially if you do not speak or when they do not understand. I think you should not torment you with that child &; Hellip;, go ... at least make a toast, my love. "
Grace got up and seized by a pressing need went outside and looked with particular attention to the conjunction of road to rail, disappointed realized that it was only the fruit of his imagination, intuition wrong. Well, except for the unmistakable shape of silver Greyhound bus line, which of course appeared to increase in speed and follows his path through the desolate road, smooth and shiny like a metal loop, no other vehicle was peering in horizon. Was disappointed in, and EMPE
Deaf to its surroundings did not even hear your response. His eyes widened and took a deep breath, assaulted by the certainty, broke his heart beating with heavy blows. Ennis

Powered by a single impulse, ran simultaneously. Ran wildly, as if their lives depended on it. Out of breath, lungs on fire, stopped facing separated by a few steps. In a moment panting were observed. Ennis, got rid of his backpack when it fell on the dry ground of the road spread a dusty yellow puff. He opened his arms, closed his fist Jack stifled a pikezo and rushed at him, shook hard. His body trembled, were recognized, conformed to each other. Muttering inaudible words, her lips were frantically. Desperately
kissing. Fragile
image of a mother tenderly smiling, eager to shake his arms to his son's partner, Grace, he hoped, left hand on his chest tighten a little nervous even a peak of apron, while with the right picking a hair tousled by the wind. Pleased
raised his eyes to heaven. =========
Remember Jack ...?
Sitting on the porch in an old wicker chair, Ennis celebrated its 65 anniversary, despite their age, can not be said to have changed much, ever so thin, always so handsome.
With eyes lost in the vastness of the landscape green, recalled how they met Jack, ...
"recalled the hills covered by a thick forest of secular pines, the sky was so blue in the clean dawn air, which damaged his eyes he raised his eyes sought pastor, prisoner of a perverse desire to be at his side.
A short distance from the camp, had hidden in the valley with steep slopes, A river that crosses it, a river which flowed the cool waters of her womb before emptying into a lake. Few times with Jack bathed in it, how many times lying on its green banks are loved with passionate ardor.
The memory of those halcyon times without knowing why, I broke his heart. "
- 'Ennis today until the cakes look like plastic." "Jack interrupted his thoughts, worried about the icing on the cake and complaining about the inevitable modernism.
Jack, stories about extra kilos, black hair at the time, shining white hair now. Placed a ban
