Slouch

A vain man slouched and walked to the yellowish court. He was one of the main litigants of the case which had been running for more than a decade. He had committed many mistakes in his life and he knew that. Still, within these ten years, the errata of his life had become full. One would be surprised that a man like Rampada, who was in no way even a provocateur, could get entangled in such a troublesome lawsuit. Rampada remembered that one of his musician friends, a long time ago, had written an aria for his wife. But he was so dumb he could not fathom the reason of that mysterious smile that looked innocuous but smelled evil.
