—Mom, we're leaving!
—Remember you can only go as far as the square at Durazno and Minas. The capital it's not like in Flores, there are lots of dangers.
The Mechoso brothers walked to the square, sat for a while, and continued walking. Every two blocks they looked over their shoulders to make sure their mother wasn't following them. They boarded tram number eight and sighed with relief.
When they saw the crowd wearing the team colors, they knew it was time to get off. They had arrived at Centenario Stadium. The excitement was even better than imagined. At last, they would see their heroes come to life.
Based on testimonies from the Mechoso family in Juan Carlos Mechoso: Anarquista (2006, Trilce) by María Eugenia Jung and Universindo Rodríguez Díaz.
