Dabura
In that small town, where news traveled faster than a downhill tram, everyone knew the little saint. Not because of the name — names get tired, they get old, they disappear from plaques and tombstones — but because of the way they look. For the right posture. By the low voice. For his habit of lowering his eyes when receiving praise, as if too much virtue was something to hide. "Right girl", said the old women in the windows. "Too good for this world," whispered others. And she followed. Always followed. The little devil appeared without warning, as things that change destinies usually do. He didn't arrive with an open chest or a wide smile. Smart man doesn't waste movement. First he observed. Well, he observed a lot. He observed which benches she chose to sit on. Which words did he insist on repeating in his prayers? Who made his expression harden. Who made it soften.
