In a part of a human book, we read an animal:
Your mother hugged you with silent love and then your father. You smelled them, the same smell and scent of your grandfathers, the smell of all your ancestors you had never seen, the same smell that you were always worried about including yourself, the same damp and tasteless smell of Marseille soap, the smell of flame Firewood, the smell of cold sweat, cologne and a tired body that even a daily shower and rubbing a coarse cloth could not get rid of.

The same smell that had long pervaded the house. The smell of old age and death, the smell of someone who has played there before. But this smell no longer frightened you, because it was no longer your home. And when it’s your turn, the odor wanders around and eventually disappears. Because this smell can no longer recognize you and find someone to execute the legislator.
