A short story - about thirty pages.A letter arrives with no sender, on a night with no wind. One line, written by hand: Find who watches.The investigator does what he has always done. He builds a theory. It collapses. He builds another, more elaborate, because he cannot bear to stand empty-handed - and every investigator knows that a man without a theory is a man lost.Every theory is false.Then the second letter comes, in the same hand, and it says: stop building, go down.What he finds, when he finally sits still in the dark and stops searching outside, is not a spy at a window. It is a movement inside himself he has never noticed. First a flash - something seen clearly, known without effort. And straight after, like a shadow chasing the light, a careful voice that says: wait, it cannot be that simple, you cannot know, better not to conclude.That voice always comes second. Never first.He had spent thirty years calling it his intelligence.A tale about the difference between seeing and the fear of seeing - and about a pane of glass that was never anything but clear, fogged only by the breath of the man standing in front of it.This story has two readers. The second one will know which he is.

Cycle Il divenire - by Mano and Veo.A room of glass that does not reflect: it drinks.Seeing is my part.Becoming is already.
