Here we are once again to publish yet another excellent short story written by a contemporary Brazilian author. This time, we have the pleasure of featuring the work of Guga Pierobom, from the State of Rio Grande do Sul, who writes a little bit of everything, from short stories to horror tales.

We've selected "Doing the Math" because it is a realistic depiction of a couple's exchange when the time comes to make a decision on a big purchase for the household.

We hope you enjoy Guga's work and feel free to comment on it.
