ACT 1

Once upon a time there was ball number 23 who lives inside a bingo drum, a young man who has been doing what he likes for 364 days without leaving the bingo cage.

Every day, 23 gets up before the game starts and starts organizing the city. He repairs damage anywhere and gives everything his personal touch.

The other balls, when they see him, dodge him, look at him with fear and a little disgust.

23 always done everything with large security systems that always keep it fixed while the bingo drum rotates between ball and ball that comes out.

Until one day when he is going to start repairing, number 13 is tied up and taking a nap, he wakes him up and 13 is surprised, he half-opens his eyes and realizes that he is 23, he gets up with a fright and looks at a large board in the sky, where the 10 balls that have not come out for the longest time are specified. On that board it is shown last and in Red color "Ball 23, 364 days", 13 hits 23 to make him react and points out the exit, 23 ignores him, he wants to continue with what he likes. 13 stops him and takes his head, closes his eyes and transmits his thoughts to him.

We see the same board 20 years ago, the number "0" is seen with 364 days without going out and "13" is in the 9th position with 360 days. The number "0" appears on the bingo cards. Inside the hype, the "0" is with "13" drinking some piña coladas. The board, on the line where "0" is, changes to 365 and 13 to 361. The "0" is with "13" playing chess. The board changes and the “0” goes from 365 to DELETE. Where the "0" came out, now another number comes out. The zero ball disappears and ceases to exist in the Bingo game.

ACT 2

Thanks to that, 23 realizes his reality, he can disappear from the game, he must leave as soon as possible. 23 sees the exit and runs off, the ball 34 seeing him, grabs his son 5 and pushes him away with a bit of fear.

69 arrives in line and everyone greets him and lets him pass, it's 69, he always comes out!

23 gets angry and decides to break through, the others walk away in fear, some jump to get away.
He's jinxed!!!
He can´t touch you!!!

The 23 right in the starting hole, but instead of pressing the button to get a ball, they turn the bingo drum again. 23 is upside down, he gets up and looks for the exit that is now right where he was with 13, he runs and slips on a banana shell and falls.

He sees 13 in the distance who shouts his number 23 !!!!! 23 !!!! but 23 is very disoriented and passes out. 13 seeing that 23 is not there, leaves the drum.

23 opens his eyes disoriented and looks at the board, remembers the value that “0” had and what happened to him.

They spin the bingo drum again.

23, again in an awkward pose, gets up and realizes that the exit is next to him. It's finally coming out!!!

they murmur
it's going out!
yes, he only had one day left for the "0" thing to happen
shhhh, "don't even name it"

The 23 ball smiles, but when they are about to hit the button to draw a ball, someone calls out BINGO.

It is night and the 23 ball is still waiting for the door to open, he collapses and looks at the board when it just changes to 365, he is seen defeated on the ground.

ACT 3

Dawn breaks, 23 is still in the same position, already defeated... He doesn't plan to move. The other numbers start to notice how important 23 is and all it does day after day. One tries to sit on a bench and cannot, a traffic light blocks the road, a cracked wall, sneezing number 88 collapses, everything is a disaster.

As a result of this, it is the numbers themselves that look for 23 and pull him to get out.

The ball comes out, and they read: twenty-three, two, three, twenty-three!

The board resets and moves all the way down, now it is possible to read in the last box "Bola 92, 113 days"

Since then, within Bingo, everyone helps each other and tries to do what they like the most; but they do not let any ball exceed 100 days without coming out, the nightmare of feeling that they can become a "zero" has disappeared; but they always leave Zero's memory in sight to never again forget what has happened and may happen.
