Well, I'm writing again. Started with a scene that popped into mind and am just making things up as I go along. No idea whatsoever what this tale is about, or where it's going, or if I'll even bother to finish it, or if it'll even capture my imagination in such a way as to hurl me along in its current. So far, however, I'm interested. In any event, I wanted to write something, to lube and prime the old imagination and beat the rust off my storytelling gears.
At the very least, I rather like the suspicious mood and disquietude of the opening. It provides for a good hook, I think, which is needed in the opening paragraphs of any tale. For no reason whatsoever, I decided to go with Portuguese names for my characters. It'll be interesting to see what sort of trouble Ezequiel, Ovídio, Teófilo, and Zita find themselves in as the tale progresses.

Those are not very common names; I'm curious to see what sort of troubles you'll put them through. :) I'm happy you started a new story! :)
I did a search on Portuguese names, but what got that started is that I read somewhere — I forget where — the name Ezequiel and I learned that it's Portuguese. My search for Portuguese names was prompted by my wanting to confirm that I had remembered the correct spelling.
