First Sentence edit see section history

Para mim é muito cedo, fui deitar dia claro, não consigo definir aquele sujeito através do olho mágico. Estou zonzo, não entendo o sujeito ali parado de terno e gravata, seu rosto intumescido pela lente. Deve ser coisa importante pois ouvi a campainha tocar várias vezes, uma a caminho da porta e pelo menos três dentro do sonho.
