ALTERNATIVE SET OF PROCEDURES

The rib of the leaves as the sad stretch of the incidents.

The trace of the lines of the hand.

The evident circulation of the venom.

The torrent, the journey.

The microsomal fight.

The communication between adjacent vessels.

The heartbeat.

The incessant roar of the pulse of the existence.

The cycle.

The routine.
