EYES CLOSED

Atílio until now, even loose and lost in the midst of a whirlwind of fantasy and death, stirred by an evil entity and thrown into a giant blender, did not see himself as the human being endowed with certain powers as he was. He did not understand the seriousness of the accident he suffered, even after he woke up from a coma, when he was bombarded with astonishment and admiration for having survived, for the people who knew his history and the doctors and nurses themselves in the hospital.

The day-to-day life of Atílio increasingly faded any trace of abnormality and the choices he made made any setbacks or surprises difficult. His girlfriend Lígia, who was pragmatic and methodical, like him, did not mind the way they lived their lives. The two agreed to live together three months ago. She was a nurse at a public hospital in the city and the two were saving money to plan their honeymoon trip to Greece. But something changed on that seemingly ordinary spring day in 1995.
