Situation #1
-Merda Merda!! Shit Shit!!
O sangue nao para, the blood doesn`t stop!
Oh foda-se que vou morrer, fuck I am going to die!!!
Os seus olhos, his eyes, reviraram-se para cima, turned upwards, como os olhos de uma velha xama a entrar em trance, like those of an old xaman who is entering a trance.
Eu apertei o tourniquete, I tightened the torniquete.
O tecido branco virou vermelho.
The whiteness of his teeth was stained red.
Ele mordeu o labio inferior numa tentativa patetico de nao sentir a dor vinda do peito aberto.
The open wound on his chest pulsating like a second mouth gasping for air.
Fuck-I realised my mind was wandering- not even when my best friend is dying can I keep my mind in the present moment? The image of Cindy in front of me, on her kness, had jumped in my mind and I had followed it.
-Come On Man! Foda-se, Meu! Estas a ouvir-me!??!
I screamed these words, gritei-lhe estas palavras, to keep him conscious and to try and keep myself in the present moment, no momento presente, no Presente.
Pensei: se ja e dificil eu, if it is dificult for I, manter a minha lucidez, maintain my lucidity, Neste Momento, quao mais dificil sera para ele?!! For him.
I, Eu, looked around.
Vazio, nobody, nadie.
A sua mao, his hand- the hand of my best, o meu melhor, friend- grasped, feebly grasped, my blood-stained Pierre Cardin shirt.
Estava tranquilo, I was calm, simplesmente, simply, nao havia nada que eu podia fazer.
I, Eu, senti algo
felt something.
Comecou a chover
