Late afternoon in an apartment on the first floor, a bare little room in the middle of the corridor, just before the kitchen and in front of the closet: a simple dark wooden door, a blackened brass handle by time, cobwebs in the corners, low floor, five euro per square meter, scratched and marked by countless movements of beds, tables, cabinets, beds for dogs, rifles.

The room was quiet: from the common garden come screaming children, barking dogs, silicone implants that burst.
The sun goes down.
Click, clack.
