On election day in the capital, it is raining so hard that no one has come out to vote. The politicians are jittery. The rain finally stops. Voters rush to the polling stations as though they had been ordered to appear. But when the ballots are counted, more than 70 percent are blank. The citizens are rebellious. A state of emergency is declared. But are the authorities acting blindly? The word evokes terrible memories of the plague of blindness that had hit the city four years before and of the one woman who kept her sight. Could she be behind the blank ballots?
