El Cumpleaños
A man threw his television into the ocean. It was his birthday. His cumpleaños. Then he threw a pair of Converse tennis shoes from his childhood into the ocean. It was his 31st birthday. The man reached into his pockets and found a pen his father had given him last year on his birthday. He threw it into the ocean, too. The clouds began to roar. The man dove into the water and searched for his things. He wasn’t going mad. He was just bad at letting things go. Into the ocean. On his cumpleaños.
