milton, something simple
—
One day Mr Milton decided to change his life. He left married children, distant friends and his wife, who for a long time no longer cared about the relationship. He left behind the bakery that he built and kept thriving for 37 years, in the neighbourhood place he’s always been. Milton, by the strangeness of fate, after so long, decided to fulfil his childhood dream.
The ex-baker never wanted to be an astronaut, because for him, first, you take care of where you live. He never thought of being a player; sport is not and has never been his forte. He also never imagined himself president. He thinks that “this is something for the greats”, and Mr Milton knew that he didn’t know how to live in greatness. Something simple, that would change him for his entire life, or at least the life he had left.
Milton is now Marilyn.
