Triste Tropico Page #2

One day,

reading in the almanacs

of this wonderful product,

I decided to try it.

The results were astounding.

Another typical letter:

I must tell you,

in the whole world

there's no other drug so prodigious,

and I swear,

anytime, if required,

that the Dr. Artur Pills

are made by a holy miracle.

I'll always be

an admirer and propagandist.

Another letter:

Due to the overwork

that my job requires from me

I was struck by

a general weakness so profound

that I thought death was at hand,

making me crazy, without hope,

etc, etc, etc and etc

Dr. Artur Hyper-Medicalized

the Scorpion Zone,

which involved him in

a mesh of conspiracies

aiming to de-medicalize it.

In the Scorpion Zone,

everything is quicksand.

He collaborated in

the violent newspapers of the Zone

'The Mirror of Justice'

'The Voice of Reason'

'Letters to the People'

'The Two Liberal Buddies'

'Dr. Bloodhound'

'Nurse of the Nutters'

'The New Censor'

and 'The Rocket'

Some of them in the Tupi language.

There is little information about

his marriage to Grimanesa Le Petit

or, rather,

which obscure alliance

Dr. Artur wanted to make?

Led by her,

he founded a rich girls' school

Whose ad said:

"We teach English,

French and good manners.

Further:

to make fabric flowers,

bead work,

candlestick supports,

sewing for both sexes.

As well as to play the piano

and pan pipe of 13 pipes.

The pupils will have

their hearts nourished

by love and virtue

so that they can dictate

the day of their parenthood.

Dr. Artur was happy,

felt himself an innovator,

but unknown forces began to sabotage

his love life.

In the beginning, it was only

a simple inability

to act aggressively.

He spoke to himself as he would

to an almanac reader

"This soft nervousness,

this little headache which torments him

all those black ideas which bother him,

suggest that his intestines

are in need of a corrective"

But on April 25th

strange symptoms started

coinciding with

unexpected atmospheric phenomena.

Needles in the body,

cold sweats,

anxiety and intense diarrhea

in the morning.

He immediately loses his ability

to distinguish

the 13 flavors of coffee.

Crossing the sky of the Scorpion Zone

the same comet

to which, in 1577, the loss

of El Rey Sebastian is attributed.

The astronomer

Palatare Navarra y Rocafur comments:

This comet becomes worse each year.

The following week,

Dr. Artur worsens

generalized tremors, gripes,

loss of senses and

a state of shock,

painful cramps and vertigo.

He misinterprets his symptons

as abuse of "Spanish Fly"

that he has eaten

as the elixir of youth.

May 1 was the eclipse of the sun
