Yesterday, today, and tomorrow - 3 ficctions of the same

He is among family,
he is the sick and bad-tempered one of the household,
he suffers of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder,
in other words
he suffers of retrospective episodes,
recurrent nightmares,
apathy, emotional outbursts,
insensitivity to pleasure,
memory retention difficulties,
and inability to concentrate.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
are days when everything happened.
There are retrospective episodes,
since today
he is reliving the complaints his wife made yesterday.
Her complaints of yesterday
were the result of his insensibility to pleasure,
because his manhood
does not become erect very easily.
But when he caught sight of his nephew's wife's ass,
right there, among the rolls of paper, he imagined he was holding her,
while standing he bent her over the gigantic roll
such that her body was arched.
He then proceeded to lift her skirt
and sliding his hands under it
he carefully pulled down her panties…
But,
he got caught.
As it turns out, what he was imagining,
he was in reality doing,
and not so tenderly as he imagined,
but he was doing it.
And the worst is he can not remember the real part,
he only remembers the imaginary one,
and he doesn't know what had really happened,
and he searches through his mind only to find his wife's voice complaining:

How could you do a thing like that,
at the office, at the paper, in front of everyone!
She is practically your niece, you can't rape her, you must respect her!
How is it possible that every time you get an erection you try to rape someone!
Don't you have any respect for your family, your sons?

And he continues to search for the sensations.
He remembers the hundreds of times
he was in front of women of beautiful proportions, but nothing.
He remembers countless experiences watching others make love,
he checks his member and nothing.
And when he seemed to have almost done it,
he could not remember that either.
What a damned thing!

And the wife-lover who knew her husband's flaws,
she remained silent,
but in silence she thought,
she thought how hard it was to conceive those sons
(months and months helping him and waiting for the erection).
And how difficult it is to maintain a household with man like that.
(and to add to it he is bad-tempered).

She wondered why she had to fall in love with him,
and thought
She must forgive him again because he is sick,
As she went over the symptoms of the last episode:
memory retention difficulty, emotional outburst, and insensitivity to pleasure...

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow are days when everything happened.
And being that today he is reliving what happened yesterday,
it is logical that he can not concentrate,
it is logical that he can not manage his business.

And so today
he is self-absorbed, apathetic, off.
The word off is more appropriate,
because he is sort of a dormant volcano that may erupt tomorrow.

and tomorrow
he is not among family.
Tomorrow...

§ He is at work unleashing his fury on Don Abel,

§ he is yelling at Abel for 40 minutes over reasons that do not justify those minutes nor the ones that follow.

§ After 45 minutes, as if ending the first half of a soccer game, he calls Abel son of a whore, just like that, without blinking, with the confidence he gets from being the President-Director.

§ Tomorrow...

§ He finds a legal artifice and issues a firing a memo for Don Abel,

§ he is accusing unjustly of most clauses in article 16 labor law,

§ so that Don Abel now has no rights to social benefits nor severance pay.

§ Tomorrow...

§ He is summoned by the Labor Ministry, and he laughs and does not go.

§ And while he is in the bathroom, in lack of toilette paper he uses the summon papers as he stutters:

§ No one is going to make me pay him nor to others. No one.

§ Not even the Estate Ministry could close his business. No matter how many millions of dollars he owes to the government. I don't want to pay and that is that.

§ Now, with more reason I will not get caught up with the AFPs,

§ nor with the syndicate,

§ nor with the National Social Security Office, I don't want to pay anything.

§ And that dammed Abel, I will keep his salary, he can suffer, he will have to come here and humble himself before me, get on his knees, cry, tell me about the needs of his wife and children.

§ Tomorrow...

§ He is in a meeting with his lawyers looking for a way to manipulate the law. Researching what judges and lawyers are involved in the labor suit filed by Don Abel against him. He wants everything to turn out cleanly, not like the last time when he had the accident with the Chinese people. He had to pay judges and the attorney general. He had to ask for payment over favors to high-ranking police officers, and he also used the newspaper's influence to tip the justice in his favor.

§ He is extorting Don Abel's attorney, threatening to publish some past love-escapades. Also,

§ he is pressuring the judge for payment of past favors. Also,

§ to other power circles he throws a warning, indicating that is not safe to side up against him on a labor suit filed by lowly Don Abel. And if that were not enough, he is also

§ publishing, on a daily basis, a notice against Don Abel, falsely accusing him of not returning office supplies, condemning him to civil death.

§ Tomorrow...

§ He is winning the case Don Abel initiated. And

§ he continues to publish the accusations, and

§ Don Abel dies civilly each day.

§ He even files a suit against Abel for damages.

§ Tomorrow...

§ He is winning the new case (the one about damages). And

§ he continues to publish the accusations, and

§ Don Abel continues to die civilly, who in addition

§ must pay for the lawyers, court expenses, and for the damages, and cannot find work. No one believes him, no one will lend him anything.

§ Tomorrow...

§ He is printing a photo of Don Abel behind bars.

And on this morning Don Abel:

§ Has withstood mistreatment from management,

§ has been called, without a whim, "son of a whore",

§ has lost his job,

§ has died civilly,

§ has not received his salary, nor social benefits,

§ has had to, somehow, cover the judicial costs, and the damages,

§ has died economically,

§ has lost his freedom,

§ has lost his trust in justice,

§ and of course, he no longer believes in the press.

It is a good thing that Don Abel doesn't know what will happen tomorrow.
But if he knew,
he would not be able to get enough money
so that a specialist doctor could tell him
of the danger in this situation of successive mistreatments and abuses,
that can lead him
to be a firm candidate for the sickness of his ex-boss:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
A sickness that generally affects the veterans of war,
and that
at any moment Don Abel can acquire due to excessive mistreatment.

Don Abel doesn't know either
that the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder suffered by his ex-boss
is a result of the vengeance of his father's enemies,
who when Johnny was a boy,
raped him repeatedly,
and on various occasions.

And if Don Abel knew what is going to happen tomorrow?
And if he knew why his ex-boss did all those things?
If he knew what Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is?
If he knew the reasons why his ex-boss suffers this sickness?

Then Don Abel
would carry his cross
and forgive while walking.
