It's that time of the month again! Here's a new contemporary Brazilian short story fresh out of the oven. Today we have the pleasure of featuring the work of Vitor de Toledo, writer and dental surgeon.

We've selected "The Escapist", a philosophical tale of a man desperate for awakening and who seeks a priest to help him find the way to get rid of the doubt that is eating at his soul. This short story pushes the envelope on religion, morality, and absolution.

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