     As pessoas caminham, passam para trás e para a frente, indiferentes à beleza da cidade. Vão apressadas em direcção ao seu emprego e não param um segundo para absorver a brisa da manhã.
   A pequena ondulação bate nas rochas ásperas produzindo sons ritmados e melancólicos, como uma canção de intervenção, como um grito de alerta que vem das entranhas da terra, o gigante adormecido que clama por protecção.

    Até quando poderemos vislumbrar o brilho do sol nas águas? Sem que o negro grude derramado pelos navios que as cortam sem piedade o esconda?
    Ao longe, os carros chiam, as suas rodas derrapam contra as pedras já gastas. Os sem abrigo chamam por uma ajuda que nunca chega, enquanto eu me foco nas águas acastanhadas, que vão e vêm de encontro ao pontão.

     Do outro lado do rio, uma outra cidade nos sorri, um cristo nos recebe de braços abertos do topo do seu mundo e eu questiono-me: será o som dos carros, dos mendigos e dos trabalhadores a caminho do seu dia a dia o mesmo? Serão as mesmas pedras gastas, que recebem o cheiro de borracha queimada e o fumo dos escapes?
    Um cão vadio aproxima-se da água, ele é negro como a noite e apesar do seu pêlo sujo e molhado, tem um certo brilho. É o brilho da inocência, o brilho de quem não tem consciência de que haverá um amanhã.
     Mas... haverá mesmo?

Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
