An story about a rain that happened in a sunny day, a fly with no wings, and a stop.

"Thud."


The sound of rain falling.


[The weather was sunny that day.]


------


I saw the hunched giant flying downward.


[Flying?]


------


I saw nothing and everything in his eyes.


[...]


------


"Whoosh."


The sound of exhalation.


[The sound of blowing out smoke.]


------


"Scratch."


The sound of a match being struck.


[The sound of lighting a cigarette.]


------


"Step."


The sound of standing at the edge of the castle's rooftop.


[...]


------


"Step, step, step... step, step, step..."


That is the sound of pursuit.


Footsteps--mine, or the giant's.


[Climbing up to the rooftop.]


------


The giant no longer spoke with thunderclouds in his throat. He turned and ran.


My voice still echoed in the air.


[The argument was over.]


------


The giant roared back at me.


I raised the photo of the princess.


I've forgotten what I said.


[...]


------


I screamed hysterically at the giant.


[The argument began.]


------


I pushed open the gate of the castle of the giant.


I saw him ignite a dreadful torch, setting fire to the demon's thin white body and devouring its soul.


[It wasn't the first time.]


------


[Do you still remember what happened?]


Yes, doctor. The giant is dead.


[...]


[Please, let me tell.]


------


[You went home.]


[You saw him light up the drugs.]


------


[You told him to stop.]


------


[He told you to disappear.]


[You took out the photo of your mother, alive.]


[You said something.]


------


[He broke down.]


------


[You both climbed to the rooftop.]


------


[He stood on the edge.]


------


[He took another cigarette from his pocket.]


------


[He took one last drag.]


------


[He looked at you.]


------


[And then he fell.]


------


"Thud."


[That was the final sound made by the father who once stood tall like a giant.]
