big dummy

back in high school, everyone is running around in the playgound. Sweet yellow sepia colours make me go back to play with small insects in the mud. Small beetles that forgot how to run now they have less legs and funny worms that live underground.

The sun is high and hot, we have all the time with us, running and playing silly spitting to others, still nobody is mad furious, laughing and running. At one time, i realize that my mates are gone. The playground, once full and loud, is now silent. Where is everyone? I hope to find them, i am not feeling alone, i can allways entertain myself freely, just curious where the big squad went.

After looking, i looked for them some more, outside they are nowhere to be seen, i start to peek inside the rooms, and nearby the big stairs, in the yellow house, i go to the big room, anfitheater, where so many fit sitted. When i silently open the door, i find everyone inside. I stand in the door trying to understand. Nobody noticed i came in. A big dummy is sitted in the floor, facing the empty classroom. All my friends busy, walk around putting the pieces together of the 12 meters rag-doll. He has clothes and big black hair that remembers me my own. Between the huge body parts beeing carried around, i notice a big nose, still to be glued to the big face. His eyes are still empty, but i am sure somebody is taking care of it. There are at least two people that carry the glue around, some people are very busy carryind the giant botouns of the big shirt and some others sewing with a big needle.

I find all of this very bizarre and a bit scary. Sudenlly the guy still carrying the giant nose notices that i am in the door, and everyone looks scared at me, in silence. I close the door and go away to play somewhere else.
