The Apathy and Loneliness of the Society

The rain had lasted three days. There were so many dead crabs in the drenched courtyard. A newborn child had a temperature all night. Pelayo found there was a very old man with enormous and dirty wings lying on the beach. The people in the town had various ideas about who he is. “A neighbor woman who knows everything about life and death” said that he was an angel. Then he became a cash cow of Pelayo and his wife, for people to see and tease. Later, a spider woman diverted people’s curiosity, and the old man was forgotten by them gradually. Suffering the great pain and torment, the old man almost died in the winter. However, he regained the energy in the spring miraculously. And finally, he flew away.

A very old man with enomous wings shows the apathy and loneliness in people’s heart. Looking at the old man, no one was sympathetic, and no one seemed to care about his feelings. From the curiosity to the tease, then to the oblivion, the society was full of apathy.
