El ladrón de minutos
The Authorities have decided to remove one day from the calendar and the date chosen just happens to be the sixth of October, the day Edu was born. He's suddenly been stripped of a birthday - stuck at ten years old. And of course he isn't taking it very well. Although it isn't the first time that this has happened (why do you think February has only 28 days?) - that's no consolation to Edu. Determined to fight to get his date back, he goes to the Shop of Prohibited Things. Great challenges demand great solutions. Edu manages to get hold of a Time Suctioner, capable of stealing minutes here and there until a whole day has been recovered. It seems easy enough, and without thinking of the consequences, Edu sets out on the hunt for good moments.
