<div class="text-justify"> With a few drinks in him, Lalo zigzags down the street on his way home. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> The economic situation has him worried and upset, as he has to juggle to survive with his family. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> He works as a bricklayer in a construction company but longs for everything to be the way it was years ago. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> A beer can gets in his way and like the best of footballers he kicks it into a wall. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> A scream leaves him paralyzed. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -Fuck, you're going to kill all the lives I have left. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> Then a blue cloud is formed and from it appears a genie, with Arabian aspect. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> Lalo rubs his eyes and says: </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -I don't drink anymore, those beers were kind of adulterated. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> The genie tells him. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -For being such a brute I'm only going to grant you one wish. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -A wish? -he asks in surprise. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -Of course, don't you see that I'm a genius. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -What about the lamp? </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -It was stolen and I had to move into that beer can. Crime doesn't respect anything anymore. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> "No doubt I'm delirious."  Lalo thinks</div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -Make your wish quickly before they steal my beer can too. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> Still incredulous, he takes stock of what he would like and responds. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -I want to live in the Venezuela of yesterday. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -Are you sure you want that? -Don't you have a family? </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -Of course. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -But I can only take you alone. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> He hesitates, but convinced he is delirious he responds. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> -Never mind, take me alone. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> He feels like a bolt of lightning crashes into his chest and everything spins around. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> His body spins like a fan and he closes his eyes. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> When all is calm, he slowly opens his eyes in amazement and sees a large sign pointing to the place where he is. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> "The Venezuela of yesteryear".</div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> The very unfortunate genie transported him to the so called theme park located in the State of Merida. </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> Think </div><P/>
<div class="text-justify"> "Even geniuses can't be trusted anymore." </div><P/>
