El Coronel No Tiene Quien Le Escriba [Spanish]

"This is a story, about an old, sad colonel who spends his time waiting for a pension that, deep down, he knows he will never receive. He knows that his circumstances won't ever change, not even in the promised January when the rooster will finally pay off for him and his wife and they can finally put the memory of their dead son behind them"--Based on an Amazon review for the English translation, "No one writes to the colonel and other stories."
