 "Continued in the Parks" is a Julio Cortazar story , included in the book "End of the Game". In it a interesting drama is displayed , with a brilliant and existential structure , that obtains and subtracts the reader in a story that in the end turns into reality and leaves you perplexed.  It''s about a business man who goes back to his mansion in the forests and meadows. After taking the usual way back home , he goes to his office where he sits comfortably in his velvet chair back to the door and front to a window that looks out into the forest. In this way the man continues very submerged in a novel that he was reading on the train ride , one that he was already in the last chapters.  The story continues at the moment where a women finds her lover in a cabin far away from her house to give the instructions on how to take the life of her husband. The women gives the indications to arrive to the house , go up the stairs and go into the room where he could find the victim.  After stopping , the man continued nervous step by step what his lover told him. He arrived at the house , he went up the stairs and found no one , he looked in at the surrounding rooms , no one. But when he entered the third room , the killer found the victim... he was sitting in his velvet seat back facing the door reading a novel.
