The first signs of a rainy morning, the first blink of light “greeted” the workers that start again another turn. I got off the car and I was walking at the head entrance when I met the foreman.
– Good day!
– God help us, he answers, continuing:
– I would like to ask you to come in my office.
– When?
– It will be good if you would come now.
He left; also, extremely sad (who wouldn’t be sad to lose a man like Alexander?).
– Boy, what I am telling you I would have to turn it into an excusable cover for the existing administration, but I cannot pretend for anyone’s sake, especially now when, you know what happened with Alexander and I don’t want to feel guilty of others wheeling and dealing. So, the news is very unpleasant. You were also “given off” and I believe it won’t be long and we will meet again, but not in the mine. They will turn off the mines, those that don’t know what they’re doing and how much harm they are bringing, but all this have no point now. You make your liquidation and give it to me. God help you!
And he left, leaving me in his office with my liquidation file. I was hesitating. I didn’t quite know which way to go and tacking a look in the office I see a guy that was looking like me but he was with the hair grey. Then I thought to my self that I would like to look like him in my old age. With an incommensurable regret I realized the “old man” was I, the nigh teen years old one.
This was my young mate confession, the one with grey hair. I believe there are not other type of comments left and still, to get to be the grave digger of a mine diggers generation; maybe some should be ashamed of this catastrophe and don’t you believe that they have the right to breath easily after this type of “action.
It’s not fair that only the mine diggers pay for all, while others adjudge in their own accounts the COUNTRY. I have never understood what kind of people are those that start to destroy, not only that they don’t have anything to replace with where they demolished, but they don’t even think to ask themselves: “How these two things would look together. What they destroy, they may consider that others should make or replace.”
