El Hombre y La Montaña [ES]// The Man and The Mountain [EN]

in Freewriters4 years ago (edited)
En la montaña vive un hombre solitario quién alguna vez tuvo compañía, quien alguna vez tuvo familia y ahora se tiene sólo a si mismo, entre recuerdos vagos y esperanzas absurdas sueña aún con recuperar una vida, recuperar una vida que nunca fué, porque en sus años de juventud siendo alguien prometedor , fué alguien que tuvo la oportunidad de ser grande en una sociedad que le abría los brazos y le invitaba a comerse el mundo. Pero nunca tuvo guía; ya que proveniente de una familia obrera cuyo padre fue el principal proveedor, pero que a pesar de sus buenas intenciones no pudo domar el carácter salvaje, que llevaría al hoy viejo a un desastre sin igual.

Ya en sus veinte está el muchacho apenas con la secundaria y el servicio militar finalizado, en un trabajo un poco mediocre y con excesos de fiesta, fin de semanas eternos con drogas y con alcohol ahoga sus ficticias penas; pues si algo heredó de su madre fue el drama y la hipocondría que lo perseguirá siempre al borde de la locura.

A los 25 años en una fiesta conoce a una mujer diez años mayor que él y de ella se enamora, quien sabe si por interés; pues a su edad aquel jóven no sabe lo que quiere, solo sabe que cansado de la fiesta eterna está.

Pasan los días y los meses y el amor correspondido crece, y ambos deciden juntarse y la soledad desaparecer de sus vidas, él y ella sus historias unirán con sus demonios a cuestas, dos niños juntos criarán.

Ya pasaron veinte años y aquella historia de amor terminó en divorcio forzado por sus diferencias y el infortunio que finalmente los separó. Él hombre lo perdió todo: familia, bienes, empleo y hogar , y se refugio en las montañas ya casi sin dignidad.
Hoy acechado de nuevo por demonios de la infancia, trata de despertar, pues todo lo que él sabe es que quiere feliz estar, pero con cincuenta años y sin perro que alimentar es un misterio muy grande lo que a él le sucederá.

In the mountain lives a lonely man who once had company, who once had a family and now has only himself, between vague memories and absurd hopes he still dreams of recovering a life, recovering a life that never was, because in his youth he was someone promising, he was someone who had the opportunity to be great in a society that opened its arms and invited him to eat the world. But he never had a guide; coming from a working class family whose father was the main provider, but despite his good intentions he could not tame the wild character that would lead who's today the old man to an unparalleled disaster.

Already in his twenties is the boy with barely high school and a military service finished, in a job a little mediocre and with excesses of partying, eternal weekends with drugs and alcohol drowns his fictional sorrows; because if something inherited from his mother was the drama and hypochondria that always will chase him to the brink of madness.

At the age of 25 he meets a woman ten years older than him at a party and falls in love with her, who knows if it is out of interest, because at his age that young man does not know what he wants, he only knows that he is tired of the eternal party.

Days and months go by and their love grows, and both decide to get together and loneliness disappears from their lives, he and she will unite their stories with their demons on their backs, they will raise two children together.

Twenty years have passed and that love story ended in divorce forced by their differences and the misfortune that finally separated them. The man lost everything: family, property, job and home, and took refuge in the mountains with almost no dignity left.
Today, haunted again by childhood demons, he tries to wake up, for all he knows is that he wants to be happy, but at fifty years old and with no dog to feed, it is a great mystery what will happen to him.
