ميترو محال

by Youssef Fadel

"ميتْرو مُحال" هو اللقب الشعبي الساخر الذي اشتهر به موحى بسبب قصر قامته الشديد الذي يجعل منه قزماً. وهو وحيد والده، ابن مدينة تنغير، الناشط السابق في جيش التحرير، الذي كان يرى في توقف نمو ابنه وانحسار نسله بعده، هزيمة أخرى تضاف إلى هزائمه الكثيرة. وأمام الأحساس بالخذلان يختفي حمو «بأسلحته وأحلامه المضببة»، وتعود زوجته الى بيت أهلها في الجبل، فيما يرحل ميترو محال الى الدار البيضاء.
