Art Explained by a Writer: The Drunkards (1907)
Well, that was easy. It must be the season. We have a lot of duccess lately.
You mean the broken heart? Haha.
Wait till they are no longer unconscious. Such a losers these two are.
He closed his shop, let's find the key.
Moment. We should think. .. He has a parrot, what if the animal speaks. We need an alibi.
For what? Just act normal as if you are the owner. We are long over the hills before they wake up. Drunks will be drunks and with their looks no one will believe they are robbed.
To be sure we better pour a bit extra in their throats afterall it's Carnival in Portugal.
Long before the two woke up and fought their headaches the open, generous new friends of that night had left the city happily in good company.

@wakeupkitty, this is fantastic! I love how you've taken Malhoa's "The Drunkards" and spun such a darkly humorous narrative around it. The dialogue is sharp and witty, perfectly capturing the opportunistic spirit of your characters. The casual mention of "Carnival in Portugal" adds such a delicious layer of context and justification. It's a brilliant example of how art can inspire wonderfully wicked stories! I am on the edge of my seat. I wonder what city they will end up in next. The key is in the Parrot or did the Parrot fly away? Thanks for sharing this creative piece with us! I wonder what painting will inspire you next.
Leí el comentario que hizo el bot, y me pareció muy interesante, pues interpretó el texto de manera muy creativa. Efectivamente, los borrachos aprovecharon el Carnaval para entrar al bar y hacer de las suyas, jeje. Me dio risa lo del loro.
