Joseph David

After 57 years of war, he finally emerges victorious; finally he has time, he has peace, but perhaps he has been dead for years and doesn't even know it.

A lonely man has won every battle in life to finally live like the King David he once dreamed of at the beginning of it all; but the enemy is cruel, one cannot have everything.

The body speaks, but the mind pretends not to see; you try to go down to the playground, but the park is closed to you. Tired eyes don't see the mark that time has left.

He was so young, 21 years old. José Davi had his whole life ahead of him, a young prodigy; and he decided to live other people's lives, to compare himself to others.

To live under the illusion that it's possible to conquer time, just a little bit more won't make any difference.

He blinked.

57 years have passed: you lost your life, you lost your time, you lost everything. And the question remains: was it worth it?

In David's mind, he's the king, and in the mirror, he's nobody, whom the new soldiers mock, as if they weren't the future.
