A girl to End it
A girl with a shotgun A sixteen-year-old girl stands in front of him, her smoking gun still in her hands. She looks at him with an inquisitive face. “Y-yes, thank you. I don’t know what that old woman wanted from me.” “Can I have an autograph, please?” “S-sure, young...
The cat
A Cat’s decision “Mrs. Babu, it’s your turn to speak.” “Thank you, Woman- Chief of the Parliament of the People. I have a question for Mr Svanzoni, a rhetorical one. Why we should help those people? Do we have to do it because they’re human beings? But they’re not,...
The Parliament
The Parliament’s vote A buzzing room The 30 Members of the Parliament of the People create a buzzing sound in the small hall. It seems like many bees are working on building a wall of honey. There’s no more honey, though, but only a vast wall. A solid barrier...

Il Capo Popolo
Una sorta di prologo Non dovremmo prima almeno controllare? Controllare cosa? Dico, per essere sicuri che dietro alle esplosioni ci siano davvero… Sh! Ma… Sh! Potrebbero sentirti. Certo che ci sono loro, che controllare e controllare… Certo, certo. Dicevo solo per essere… comunque. Ecco che arriva il Capo, avrà...
