Both looked and shook hands. The contact was fleeting, both felt caressing his dream on the other.
The conference room was packed. Media hundred and thirty countries covering the event. Was to present the scientific breakthrough of the year or maybe the century. The man was sweating white coat wrapped by the flashes of glory. Looking to stop the trembling of his left leg bent his knee while strongly pinched. His face was a picture of Picasso with a smile that was blurred natural space in the face.
stopped for two seconds when photographers raised their hand on the lectern and asked for silence. This was an immediate result of the anticipation. With a slight hoarseness cleared his throat and began his speech had prepared two weeks.

In the corners of the crowded bar bags and jackets with the essential: phone, wallet, keys ... everything is done. Suddenly begins to play that song two years ago martyred nonconformists ears but through repetition which everyone knew some verses. Regards. The adrenaline rush and people shamelessly bawling, screaming to break free of the chains, any excuse is good.
