NAME:

Akira

Teak is daddy's darling. She looks like a dondoka full of fru fru fru and huh huh. It takes three hours to put on an outfit. It takes three hours to comb your hair. It takes three hours to decide whether to go or not. Here at home, I'm the one who does everything[…]
Who can help my mother with the sting of her grocery store in the kitchen cupboard? Me. Who is forced to change, by force, all the burnt out light bulbs in the house? Me. Who needs to look for the iron ladder, when my mother decides to get something from the top of the closet? Me. Other than that, I keep squeezing the oranges for the juice, because poor Tequinha's little hand is very delicate!

I have to save the purchases from the market because Teca is now studying. I have to take the garbage to the gate because Teca has no strength. I have to take a photocopy at the stationery because it's dangerous for Teak to walk alone in the street.
My sister is the worst spoiled thing on the face of the earth. Of course she only gets good grades at school! She has all the time in the world to study, while I'm busy, desperate, working more than sentenced to death.

Ricardo Azevedo, my name is Akira. Rio de Janeiro, ediouro, 1999.
