Irina Echarry’s Diary

Alamar is divided into zones.As I was walking around Zone 1 recently, noticing the kiosks closed for lack of merchandise and people talking about a pending storm, I suddenly stumbled upon the Catholic Church, unadorned but freshly painted, located near the beach.

I hadn’t yet mentioned that I live in Alamar (wing-of-the-sea). It’s a pretty name, and the place is pretty as well. The place, not the buildings. Here the sky is a pallet of colors that any painter would envy.

My occupation? That’s a long story. Many of the people I know don’t exercise the career that they studied. I graduated as a Pharmacy Dispensary Technician, then I learned to carve wood, to knit, and I studied Theology. I have always liked to write.I still have diaries from when I was a child.
