The locked door (narrative; rewrite)
When Lucía left home, taking Horacio’s Keys because she didn’t know where she had left hers, Horacio was tidying things up in their closet. He went to the kitchen to prepare a mate and called her, to ask where the kettle was. As he couldn’t find her, Horacio looked for her in the bedroom, in the living room and in the bathroom. It was only then that he realized: she had done it again.
He didn’t feel angry; he did feel as if someone were playing (ironically playing) with him. It was the sixth time that happened: Lucía loses her keys, grabs his and leaves. Horacio is a smart man, though: he realises that being angry won’t solve the problem. All he can do is sit, wait and drink his mate (he found the kettle, which is a consolation).
Some time later, when Horacio is absent minded, only paying attention to the usual noise that is always heard at the end of a mate, someone knocks on the door. It is Lucía. She says she has lost the keys (his keys!) and now she can’t enter home:
- “Oh, good! Now we are both locked, Lucía! I’m locked in, you are locked out!”
Lucía laughs, but Horacio is frowning.
Segunda versão, com algumas correções
