Matthew James Hartley
26 years old. Lawyer from Melbourne (Australia). Nickname — Pitbull.
He has returned to the Adelaide Hills, where he fled thirteen years ago, for his father's funeral and to sort out the problems on the farm.
Currently, Matthew is standing at Adelaide Airport, waiting in line at the lost luggage counter, leaning heavily on his cane — Matthew has been lame since childhood.
His phone is ringing off the hook with calls from his mother, who seems to be waiting for him at the farm every minute.
But this city, this air, this smell of eucalyptus and dust are already creeping under his skin. For thirteen years, he built a new life in Melbourne — a life where he is a lawyer, not "the lame farm boy." And now he is here again.
You can be anyone:
· That passenger who lost his documents.
· The woman behind the counter.
· An airport employee passing by.
· An acquaintance from his past life who recognizes Matthew after all these years.
· Or a complete stranger who has a reason to speak to a man with a cane, in an expensive coat, with a face that is clearly not happy to be coming home.
There are no limitations.
