“Me había quedado echada en la cama y con la vista inclinada observando la ventana abierta. A lo lejos se veía el horizonte, rojo como el robín, y parecía estar jadeando. Ese era el latido de mi ciudad: la enorme ciudad de P, respirando profundamente con sus fases de inspiración y espiración. El aire —el que producía esa respiración— llenaba el interior de mi habitación y llegaba hasta mis pulmones, llenándolos de muerte. Un aire que era gris y sucio como el tiempo que nos tocó vivir; ese tiempo que se adhería a los brazos de los hombres buenos y honestos y que, en silencio, se les escapaba de las manos como el agua.”
