Fa poc vaig salvar la vida a un paio. Dit així, ja sé que sona una mica fort. Però és la veritat. De vegades la veritat és forta. El paio a qui vaig salvar la vida té dos anys més que jo i em cau molt malament. Ben mirat, potser des que li va passar allò em cau una mica millor, però només una mica. De fet no ho sé. No seria el seu amic per res del món. Segur que us esteu preguntant què va passar, què vaig fer. Potser m'imagineu com un heroi. Algú que va pel món salvant vides o salvant mons. Que du una capa i una "S" llampant a la samarreta. No us ratlleu.

Hace poco le salvé la vida a un tío. Dicho así, ya sé que suena un poco fuerte. Pero es verdad. A veces la verdad es fuerte. El tío al que le salvé la vida tiene dos años más que yo y me cae fatal. Bueno, puede que desde lo que pasó me caiga un poco mejor, pero solo un poco. En realidad no lo sé. No sería su amigo por nada del mundo. Seguro que os estáis preguntando qué pasó, qué hice. Igual me imagináis como un héroe. Alguien que va por ahí salvando vidas o salvando mundos. O que lleva capa y una "S" muy grande en la camiseta. No os rayéis. Soy un tío como todos, pero más raro.
