This is such a lovely story, @gracielaacevedo. A wonderful story premise, beautifully told. I have read about this condition, called Anhydrosis, and can only imagine the traumatic experiences of parents who must guard their child against burns, scrapes, cuts and bruises that they do not feel! I loved how you put this in the context of an imagined life, and after-life, and how it transformed him in a metaphysical sense. He and Mercedes must have been so relieved when their children did not inherit his condition!
Thank you so much for this comment, @jayna. truly that the possibilities of physical pain we have are innumerable. Living without it must be a pleasurable experience, were it not for the immense risk involved. That is what I wanted to imagine. A being without pain must convey an angelic condition, which can only be compared to being able to live beyond this world.
