Instead, For those who are in-carlicate of a mission, the weight of the lens is added, result. Old age old age is resembled, wrinkles and plagues on Mollicce skins, uncertain pace to twisted fingers, Default brains in front of a purpose. What purpose if not to live - imploring and cursed – Until the last instant? Among the old asleep the shadow of the forgotten bride - Creusa – reappear in the naked and wounded body of a queen Loca (crazy).
