Gruubs´ Eagerness

General Perkins explained to Gruubs that he did not intend to write a book. Not even a series of short stories.
´Not even a series of short stories, Gruubs.
I´m an impressionist, you see.
I don´t need all the notes but I can flood you with them if I need to.
The structure is to evade a two-level structure, or pyramid if you will, to not have a sum of parts except the individual components scooped out of moments in unlikely lives and persons, all the more real the more surreal.

´So, Gruubs, you do follow don´t you? ´

Gruubs nodded with eagerness.

´Am I not glorious? I´ll just depict moments, lived by scarcely brushed in characters, who become familiar unconsciously by the complicity in the tone I myself, the host of my listeners and readers, will delicately paint for them to tread.´

´You are truly remarkable, General´.

Pleased with the response, General Perkins turned to leave just in time not to catch a glimpse of Gruubs, who was bending down to retrieve his copy of Heidi and a chipa guazu.
