This extract from The Force, or the Four Epiphanies of Martín Feito by @fatalmartinez was extremely fun to translate, and if you respond well to punctuation such as )); and —. and fiction that contains the word 'dream' in the opening sentence, then I would love for you to read it

This weekend @WalkFlorrie travel to Vallecas on the outskirts of Madrid to join forces with @CDIVallecas to build future friendships & hopefully some long standing bonds. The trip represents a long standing tradition of @TheFlorrie sending activity groups away on educational & learning excursions going back to the turn of the century. This is no different & we aim to prove that mental health knows no borders #NeverAlone ❤️💙
