Six squares in the shape of a double cross with a halo above. A surprisingly complex "children's game" that requires good balance, quickness of feet, and even hand-eye coordination for tossing the marker. Most exciting are the endings of the game when hopscotchers attempt to clear the length from the first square to the halo. If no one makes it, then game over, everyone loses.
The last breath of Rocamadour, in an Argentine-French accent, I read into my soul. The mad artistry of Cortazar's characters make me feel mad. Safely mad, that is. I like that type of stuff.
That's why hopscotcher.
