...alone in this city, alone on this sea. The days were strewn about him, he was a drunkard of days. He had achieved nothing.

There was this piece of heaven, this little girl he’d carried around the shop on his shoulders; and then one day she was gone, replaced by a foreigner, an uncooperative woman he didn’t know how to speak to.
