beach bum. Short story

in blurtstory •  2 years ago 

I used to take my walks around the city to burn the calories I had ingested the night before from a dish my friend Alfredo had prepared, which was loaded with calories. The next day I got up early to go on my tour,

It was almost ten o'clock in the morning, I was walking towards the beach and in the distance I saw a beach bum. It made me so sad, his body resting on a bench. And as I got closer he didn't even notice because he looked dead tired, as if he had walked too far. Maybe he hadn't even tasted a plate of food.

I continued walking but the face of that homeless man caught my attention because he looked so bad and the sun was beating down on his body in an inclement way. I went home and got some food that I had prepared, put it in the microwave and heated it up. I immediately got to the beach and offered the homeless man food and water. I knew he was thirsty. He ate in a desperate manner and drank water non-stop. I returned home and the next day I went back to look for beach bum and he was gone.

Solía hacer mis caminatas por la ciudad para quemar las calorías que había ingerido la noche anterior de un platillo que preparó mi amigo Alfredo , el cual estaba muy cargado de calorias, Comi demasiado. Al otro dia me levante temprano para realizar mi recorrido,

Eran casi las diez de la mañana voy caminando hacia la playa y a lo lejos diviso un vagabundo en la playa. Me dio tanta tristeza, su cuerpo reposando encima de un banco. Y a medida que me fui acercando él ni cuenta se dio porque se notaba muerto de cansancio, como si hubiese caminado demasiado. A lo mejor ni un plato de comida habría probado.

Continúe caminando pero el rostro de ese vagabundo me llamó tanto la atención porque se veía muy mal y el sol pegándole en su cuerpo de una manera inclemente. Fui a casa busqué algo de comida que tenía preparada la metí al microondas y la calente. Enseguida llegué a la playa y le ofrecí comida al vagabundo y agua. Sabía que estaba sediento. Comió de una manera desesperada y tomó agua sin parar. Volví a casa y al otro día regrese a buscar al vagabundo en la playa y ya no estaba.
