There's been a lot of alcohol circulating in the office lately. You don't see any uncontrollable drunken binges or obscene scenes caused by excessive drinking. No, but each manager of the main departments has their favorite liquid poison stashed away somewhere. And, without needing to put on an offended face, Hearing the clinking of glasses as they meet at the end of the afternoon, or earlier if the opportunity arises, is a custom that is repeated every day. A few hours ago, while turning the calendar pages, the director (today was his turn) took a bottle of Caribbean rum from his desk drawer, which he kept among his books, and took advantage of the temporary respite to light a cigar, sit down on the sofa in his office, and do some quick calculations before saying the following sentence: September again.
On September 11, 1973, he, about to turn 8 years old, He was crossing Central American territory with his family in a black and red Ford Taunus, to arrive the next day in Panama City, He planned to rest for a day, leave the car at the Canal, and take a plane to Bogotá to begin a new life. Taking the first sip of that rum, the boss remembered leaving the hotel in San José, Costa Rica, and how his mother's husband had bought a special edition of the local newspaper announcing the coup in Chile. The headlines were huge, and said something like "Allende has fallen.". Reading the newspaper, almost without understanding what had happened, the boss, being a child, managed to think that what he was reading was unfair. He didn't like at all that that poor man named Salvador, with thick glasses and showing himself in his last photo wearing a military helmet, had met that end. Without any proof, of course, that child never believed that the president had committed suicide.
Forty-eight years later, after having a couple of drinks, the boss tells us that perhaps that news was what made him want to write from an early age, to keep an eye on the news, to pay attention to what was happening on the planet. «"That - clarifies "More than a good influence, it's a curse. Since then, I distrust everything I'm told. Nothing is certain, a priori.".
