Those in career, all with the frenzy of conquest that obscures minds and ignites passions.
The fixed thinking is to make scorched earth, but the risk of burning is high. Their worst enemy? The clash with each other: it produces sparks. They are beatable with ideas.<br>

The fall. As she became the branch Manager, Gina had two secrets: the name (she made call herself Sveva) and the soup she took from home, well hidden. When she was discovered, she lost sign and census.<br>

In the effort of appearing as a dominant species, the commitment is such that it makes us lose the sensibility towards what is passing by us. Even an idea, a higher entity capable of changing your life, can easily flee from you. Ideas al- ways pass by, but if we do not see them or we do not feel their presence, they will leave since they don’t feel themselves considered. Of course, we know we’ve missed something, but it’s late. We are left with an embarrassing feeling of nakedness, combined with an opportunity of lost beauty.<br>

Smile is the indicative sign of those wanting to appear bright. The effort is dedicated to the gums: when they are shown, the self-esteem feeling increases, the nose is snub, flat and able to perceive the moods. Signals happening to everyone, both men and things alike. Just look at a coffee pot filled with freshly made coffee: smiles at eighty teeth and slipping forward.<br>

The invitation to dinner depended from the Barzettis. The circle of friends was good, the evening had arrived at last. Everything was ready, only the iconic dish of spaghetti with bottarga was missing. All happened suddenly: the delirious Barzetti rushed towards that little Sardinian shop in the alley. It was late, but he would succeed. He rushed, at first quickly, then in a hurry. But that place had already gone to sleep, turned off the light and lowered the shutter: it was a hard and painful encounter. And that was also the last supper.<br>

It was disquieting, but Narcissus still managed to live up to it. Well-worn trench and newspaper disguised incipient social falls; in fact Narcissus’s sign was exhausted.
The collapse occurred on a grey day: a gust of wind showed the loss of his social status.<br>

She passed gloating, exploiting the others’ sign. When she realized that the money she was waving like a flag was not hers, but the workers’, she realized she was losing wealth and social status: she was left naked. It was in 1992, in a morning at the end of July, when she decided to flee away in search of a worthy status. Every now and then the figure of a ladder running with a bunch of money in its hand stands out against the setting sun.<br>

In her career the talent is developing well and discreetly, with good acquaintances, even if the grey smell of the suburbs is still attached to the skin. Astonishing with coup de théâtre is fundamental. Like the evening approaching, an ideal opportunity of new scores. Cinderella tries the red Valentino dress: it’s too much, it would look like a desperate gesture to sweep her natural dusty grey away. It takes extraordinariness carried with fortuitousness: she reminds a graceful evening shoe. And Cinderella will go to the evening wearing only that.<br>

Sought after in good milieus, when Lucia entered she left her mark because of the soft fatness that she managed with exuberance and sensuality. Until her graceful feet touching the scales did not threaten a disaster: the kilograms on the display rose to such high levels that she risked a sudden descent in her social status. Terrified at the idea of losing attentions and invitations, Lucia decided an extreme move. She raised herself and raised the question.<br>

He went to the meeting but was not sure to end the deal. Anyway, he had already decided: if it went wrong, he would turn away, revving up from the exhaust pipes.
One can lose the sign, not dignity.<br>

Her package design, with its small elegant characters and a classy ideogram boasting the embossed name, places her already in the upper classes of society. Unfortunately, she has a very short life. Held between fingers, she lights up and consumes warm emotions in a few moments. This is how an elegant cigarette sees its sign consumed until it disappears in the fire of passion. Then the last act that crushes her reducing her to an old ugly one, with folds instead of a smile. Now, transformed into a she-butt, it spends what remains to be lived in an all-consuming anger.<br>

He slipped on a banana peel, poor man who would fall easily. Not all know, however, about the existence of banana-sentinels. Ambushing is their preferred role: when you have almost completed the achievement of a goal they prevent you from succeeding by settling themselves in harmful points for the climb. Here the collapse of the image construction is vertical.<br>
