And here, an old man with grey hair was running through the cemetery, leaping over the uneven ground with his feeble legs, carefully avoiding the graves and monuments. His wooden cane clearly helped him in this sprint, or else he would have been stuck at the entrance. But there was no time to lose; every minute was crucial. Stop! Before we get to the main event of the story, let's discuss the characters who have been a part of it all along.
So, there lived a man on this earth named Samuel Soto. There was a time, of course, when he was just Samuel. But the years marched on relentlessly, and he himself became kinder and sadder. "Why sadder?" you might ask. Well, old age and loneliness took their toll. However, it couldn't be said that Samuel Soto was completely without loved ones in his old age. About ten years ago, when the old man was only 59, his beloved wife passed away. He had never loved anyone as deeply as he had loved her throughout his life. And he had been married three times. His first wife was his high school sweetheart, named Rufina. They studied together at college, then lived together for a short while. But Samuel Soto's job demanded that he move urgently to the north for a very long time. His girlfriend couldn't afford to move from her beloved South, where she cared for elderly relatives and worked at a school. So, the long-distance relationship between Samuel and Rufina couldn't withstand such a colossal distance. Thus, they peacefully parted ways after just a few years, without any regrets.
