A man’s P.O.V with the axolotls

A man who loved to go to the aquarium, simply staring at axolotls, thought about something odd. He became so into axolotls, he started to think if he was an axolotl. The man felt as if he had a sudden connection when he met these pink creatures. Their soulless golden eyes, their stiff body, they barely moved. Even when someone taps the glass, normally the fish swims away, but these type of fish didn't even care. They didn’t even flinch. “They are slaves do their own body” a line from the story. Soon, the man came less and less often to the aquarium.

He became less interested of us. I saw him yesterday, but he left rather quickly. Perhaps he is getting a little bit busy, and probably getting less of the habit to seeing us. I still think about about him, though. “At the beginning we started to communicate, that he felt more than ever, one of the mystery.” Maybe he will write a story about us hopefully.

"No one can retell the plot of a Cortázar story; each one consists of determined words in a determined order. If we try to summarize them, we realize that something precious has been lost." - A quote from Jorge Luis Borges
