Trying to breathe calmly
One night Alex and his father hear how his mother is sleeping with another man.
At breakfast everybody remains silent. There is only the sound of the father cutting some bread with a knife.
Some days later Alex' mother carries a heavy box from the basement. She slips and falls down the stairs where she remains lying motionless. Alex sees, as his father slowly walks to the cellar door and closes it gently, before he walks back into the kitchen, to drink a glass of milk. Alex does not know, what to do.
