Three halves

-by Elvira López Vallés-

At one point along the way the mosquitoes get a bit heavy and Alberto decides to apply an anti-mosquito spray on top of the several layers of sun cream he is already wearing. I recommend that he apply it to his very sweaty T-shirt because "maybe it's the sweat that attracts the mosquitoes". For some unknown reason, an unexpected substance is generated that causes the opposite effect and starts to attract insects, half mosquito, half fly, half alien (yes, it's impossible for them to have three halves) that stick to all of Solo's skin: arms, T-shirt, cap... They don't come near me. They just want to finish him off. I try to calm him down by telling him to calm down, but it doesn't work. I also hit the bugs with a cap.

One of them follows him for a long time. Alberto doesn't have a good time, but then we laugh a lot (me more than him) remembering him.
