Chapter 5: A strange encounter
It was half past nine. I thought that lying about my grandmother did not understand that I am a human being and that these hours should be in bed and not leaving the portal to buy bread with the first thing she had found my room as above.
Luckily the shop was not a street or house and there was nobody on the sidewalk I saw the sleeping face she wore.
The store was open when you arrive. There was absolutely no more and the clerk was more asleep than I do. Even so fast and before I attended than I thought he was in the street again with the bread and the newspaper staring at the house of terror. It was a real pity that such a house will go to waste. Crossing the street among other things because it was the way to go home and he wanted to see the house more closely. With the bag of bread and the newspaper still in his left hand pointing towards the roof of the house and then slide the view to large garden, shattered by the passing years. The house was not bad at all, if he needed a couple of reforms. But what really gave him that image was so pitiful that garden. Then I thought I could change that if only a little. I ran my hand through the bars of the iron gate and all weeds within a radius of five meters disappeared to make way for cumulus flowers more colorful and varied than imagined. I smiled to see my great work.
"I should not have done that Miss .- surprised me a voice behind me. I turned quickly to look who was talking to me.
"Someone might see it and would have serious problems .- was an elderly gentleman who looked like a good person, but I looked so serious that I gave up fear.
"Excuse me, but not what you're talking .- you answer me while diverting his eyes to the flowers that had just created.
"That's just me talking," he said as he pointed to the flowers with a small hand gesture. - What do you think people will say when you see these flowers have grown overnight in a garden that takes years dead?
"Well ..." I stammered, I can not think of anything to say. I started I was nervous and just got blush.
"Exactly, just rumors and stupid comments. So it will be better than removing them from there .- and after saying this with a hand movement was the flowers that five minutes before I had put it there with a lot more trouble made them disappear, returning the weeds they were before.
I was so surprised to see that the flowers disappeared after his gesture. That even he realized.
"Not long ago you discovered your powers. Right? - Said while the tone of your voice down yet but due to a person passing by us and became more friendly.
"Well, the truth is not in my voice .- it was clear that was a little confused with what was happening.
"Surely you will have many questions about ... - the number of people who had begun to be seen on the streets had increased dramatically in the last minute because of this the tone of the conversation had fallen into silence, with the possibility that someone could hear something embarrassing.
"Your hand-chosen words that sounded so strange at all while continuing to look at everyone who passed along the sidewalk .- But as you could see this is not the best place to discuss such a sensitive topic. You better continue this conversation later. Do not you think?
"Yes," said a low voice now is a lot more people on the street.
"That's per hour .- and after saying this he turned left.
I stood for a few seconds watching this strange gentleman was leaving without giving me much needed explanation at that time.
As I walked towards my house could not stop thinking that if I had said a fortnight ago that this was going to happen. I would have laughed and thought he was pulling my hair, but now they could say a UFO has crashed in front of my house I would believe it. He had never been so confused.
-Ya you better looking. Where it is assumed that you've been? - Alicia blame me as you walk through the door.
"Well, buying bread and the newspaper, where it .- I will answer, in the end was not completely dug a lie.
"What a tail that must have in store for taking so .- continued her while pulling on the couch.
"The truth is that almost did not open the store. By the way are you alone? - I finished asking.
"If grandma has gone for a walk .- she replied she lifted her head slightly to see me on the couch.
"Okay - you answer me as I walked into the kitchen to make purchases on the table.
