Im ..., never mind. Today is December, 26 and Im dead. Bad luck is the reason why and I dont feel guilty about it. In fact, my story is all I have left.Would you like to know it? I think you would. I was born in a humble farmhouse near a town. Life was hard in the countryside; nobody gave you anything for free. It was difficult to grow up!. Back and forth to support oneself the whole day. Always competing with my roommates for the crumbs like well-dressed stockbrokers in Wall Street. What stressful life! But at that time I didnt know my destiny.I had never stood out for my intelligence. Therefore, when at last I arrived in town and I was successful, I was the first surprised.Become settled in town was the greatest thing that could happen in the countryside. Everybody wished to achieve that goal.At first I was proud of myself; I had managed to improve my future. I didnt know I would live only for few days. The truth was that I didnt have a future!.Everything was different in town. In general, my life was more comfortable and also I met a lot of people and I improved my communicative skills. I began to worry about my physical appearance and I got into my rol. I walked proudly in front of people only for them to admire me. I was sure of my success. But I sensed that to be successful didnt depend on me but it depended on the people around me. Therefore, when the day came I was very nervous, I needed to do a good job, Id be in the spotlight.Everything happened so fast .From my current situation I dont know if being successful is the most important thing. In the end I think, the most important thing is to get a beautiful carcass.
