Today she won’t escape us, he thinks while turning on the computer. The fugitive has been lurking in the area for months, but they haven’t managed to catch her. Today feels different; the souvenir on his desk is turning pink, that’s a good sign.
He adjusts his glasses and opens 11 tracking maps simultaneously to monitor her steps. The Isidore the Labourer statue is still upside down; he was told that could help.
He tunes in to LU2 and hears that someone spotted her two towns over. His radars start to sound; the fugitive is close. With a racing heart, he calls La Colonia: she’s been found. Tired of running away, the rain finally surrendered. She fell asleep and chose my dad’s farm over any other place to rest.
This animation is for my dad, who never loses hope that it will rain.
