Cherry Sour and the Tragedy of the Pink Flamingo

Work:: Cherry Sour and the Tragedy of the Pink Flamingo (S939131697)

Music is listened from the room where Cherry lived for four years. The Pink Flamingos' song plays from a scratched record and Cherry is standing outside the door thinking that that last fight wasn't his fault (although it was) and that maybe if he hadn't been high, drunk, with other women and with his drugies friends mocking on Cherry, he wouldn't have insulted her, beaten her, and humiliated her, and that even if he had loved her, she wouldn't have left the room. She imagined the recurring scenario where she opened the door, he asked for forgiveness and they started over, but this time it is not like that. She opens the door, and there lies Johnny Flamingo dead, and Cherry is left alone. Victim of loneliness, she makes an act of survival: plead guilty to the death of Johnny Flamingo and from there, in the police interrogatory room, she tells us her story. A story of abandonment, and violence, which forces Cherry to lose contact with the world, which was not difficult as she has no family, friends or anyone to rely on. Loneliness always gave her security.
