With this microtale (1 of 2 this week) my aim is to pay tribute to such a great author as Javier Cercas, in what we could call the "realistic micro-tale"
“That damned hypotenuse captured Pi”. That´s what he said among other meaningless things. Being prime time, a celebrity such as he was. Unbelievable.
His former girlfriends smiled inside, pretending not to want anybody no bad. The sons were negotiating undercover their interventions on TV as the same time they publicly regretted their father´s decline. His legal counsellor declared in front of everybody to be doing the right thing by denouncing his client, while in private she bragged of her shrewdness in order to take advantage of the free publicity for her lawyer´s office.
Soon after, the old comedian arrived to hospital, not making laugh any longer, with his face, now strained.
We all have two of them. Don´t we?
El viejo cómico ingresó poco después en el hospital, su rostro crispado ya no hacía gracia.
Todos tenemos dos caras.

I guess BOTIJO here is telling us the story of a famous Spanish comedian and his recent problems...
Actually, quite real, as you promised.
Yes, yes, you´re right in all you say, of course...
