LA ESPERA

Un hombre llega a una casa de pensión, dispuesto a alojarse en ella. Parece receloso, inquieto y rehyue el contacto con sus vecinos. Poco a poco, a través de sus recuerdos y sus pesadillas, se hace claro el porqué de su presencia alli: es una larga espera de su muerte a manos de un hombre que, él lo sabe, tarde o temprano lo alcanzará. Ello ocurre finalmente, cuando al abriri los ojos descubre a su asesino al pie de la cama.
Pero esta vez, a diferencia de sus sueños, no luchará por su vida; en un extraño gesto de cobardía, resignación, hastío, dará la espalda a su asesino, dispuesto a terminar con esa espera, más difícil de sobrellevar que la muerte misma.

A man arrives at a lodging house. determined to stay in it. He looks distrustful. Anxious and rejects contact-with his neighbours. Little by little through his memories and nightmares. He makes clear why he is there: it is a long wait for his death in hands of a man who he knows sooner or later will find him.
Finally. one morning this takes place: when he opens his eyes he discovers his killer at the foot of his bed.
But this time it is different from his dreams. He will not fight for his life: in an extrange act he will give his back to his killer determined to end with the wait which is more unbearable than death itself.
