La mirada vacía, el rostro inexpresivo, de frente hacia una pared gris que sirve como su unica interacción con el mundo que le rodea.

Así pasa los días el enfermo del cuarto 828, del manicomio, quien pensaría que ese hombre una vez fué uno de los más influyentes de la ciudad, un prominente hombre de negocios que era muy adepto a pronosticar los mercados en su negocio de pinturas, que luego se transformó en la más importante de las ferreterías de esa región.

That happened to this now stunned man, who in a business meeting was blinded in the heart by a young woman, the type that a few years before would never have turned to see him, the profile of the woman of his dreams, whom he unhesitatingly included in his company.

That was his undoing, she was also very skilled with numbers, which made him fall in love even more, since his wife and children did not have what for him was the business instinct.

One day he had the courage and bet on his happiness? he left his wife of many years and his children to form a new family with the woman of his dreams, but she did not come alone she had a son and a cousin that she loved very much whom she also included in the company.

Everything was going well in their relationship, the one that cost him his family but he thought he was happy living the life he always wanted with her, traveling the world while his company was giving the best dividends in its history, it was going so well that it didn't seem real.

Until one day he got the news from a bank office, his company had no funds, the man who suddenly woke up from his lethargy knew immediately that he had been set up, the last 2 years his company had billed in the name of a phantom firm owned by his wife, which gradually drained not only his money but also the customers of his company.

Blind with anger he went to his house, to look for his wife, to surprise her, but he was surprised to realize that the cousin was actually his wife's partner, there was no more control, he took a gun, and finished them off, but he did not return, he was trapped in that moment of terrible stress, and madness, for the rest of his life***.

There he was staring at a wall without really looking at it, just in the nothingness....
