At that very moment the storm hits us and suddenly it seems that Pascoal is taking on the sea itself. The waves get bigger and crash hard on the shore. ‘Leave it,’ I shout to Pascoal.
Fiction
By Selma Carvalho
The Friday they leave for a weekend in Belgium, Anju discovers Freddo is cheating on her. She doesn’t share her knowledge with him. What she should have said was, ‘Freddo, I’m tired of this shit. This time, I’m leaving.’
Her heart feels like it is going to stop breathing all on its own, distinct from the rest of her. The pain is so intense, she realises it is possible for the rest of her body to survive the carnage, while her heart, expelled from her being like a refugee, would simply die.
