WHO CAN IT BE?

In a dark and cold place, a weak voice break the silence:

"Do you remember how you got here?" a girl asks from one cage to another.

"I don't know why, but I can't remember anything," starts to cry, "I try to have at least one memory of who I am and where I came from," he gives himself ass to his head and continues crying, "I don't even know if I had a family."

"It's not your fault," says the young woman trying to comfort the child, "maybe it's better not to remember," look sadly at the light coming through a small window.

Everything is silence again.

"Why is it better for me not to remember?" asks the confused child.

"Because maybe the past is full of good moments, moments that'll make you feel really happy, inconsolably sad and even miserably regretful, moments that'll only be memories, moments that won't return, moments for which you'll feel anger, helplessness and even hate because all of them were taken away from you," she answers wistfully as she remembers her life before being a prisoner.

"I understand, but still being able to remember, regardless of whether they are happy or painful moments, makes you someone less miserable, because everything you loved is still in your heart and it's comforts you," says the little boy looking directly to the women in the cage in front of him.

Suddenly a man enters, opens the child's cage, takes him out, ties his hands and prepares to open the woman's cage.

The woman pretended to be asleep as soon as she heard the sound of the door. When the man enters the cage, the woman stabs him in the abdomen with a broken glass that she took the last time she came out of the cage. The man lies on the ground screaming in pain and bleeding to death. The woman takes the man's keys and frees the boy's hands, they run, but they run into an endless corridor, when they find an exit, it's too small and on the other side of the corridor, two men are quickly approaching. There is no time:

"Go and run, get help, go and never be found!" She exclaimed desperately to the little boy.

"What about you?" the child asks crying.

"I hope that from now on your life is full of good moments," the woman says goodbye as closes the small exit.

The boy crawls as fast as he can until he reaches the end, he goes out and runs, two men follow him in the distance.

He goes through an alley and reaches a street, buses are seen passing, and there are not many people around, he turns his head to see if he's been followed, and suddenly he bumps into a woman falling to the ground, he asks for her help and loses consciousness.

The woman takes him in her arms and tries to wake him up, but footsteps are heard approaching quickly. She feels nervous, and when she is about to carry the child, a young man covers the little boy with a blanket and carries him, then takes Neveah's hand and walk towards the bus stop.

"I know I'm handsome, but you'd better look ahead," says the young man smiling.

Two men appear in front of them, they all exchange glances and continue on their way.

Sometimes there is no other option, but to rely on the help of a stranger.
