"...he cast his eyes about him, and all around there was silence and darkness. He tried to raise his hands towards his eyes, but they were trapped, stuck. Then it occurred to him that he was dead."
The Deceased – Thomaz Lopes (English translation)
O Defunto- Thomaz Lopes (Texto Original)
Lançou vagamente os olhos em torno, e em torno tudo era silêncio e treva. Procurou levar as mãos aos olhos, mas sentiu as mãos presas, sem movimento; e parece-lhe então que estava morto.
