Fragmento de la obra: Sin avisar ni decir ‘agua va,’ Rosa y Pascual salieron al patio… con el cadáver de Ignacio a rastras, en un día especialmente lluvioso. La impresión fue tan grande para el árbol de aguacate, que habiendo llevado ya una vida tan difícil, decidió morir de la tristeza. Todo era aguantable, todo. Menos no tener a Ignacio en su vida. No valía la pena ya vivir; no quería ya vivir. No quería que nadie más comiera sus aguacates. Y decidió aguantar la respiración hasta que sus tristes raíces murieran… lo cual le tomó tres días. La higuera estaba igual de ...

Fragment to this story: Henry and I drove in silence, back to the house. I needed to take a shower and sleep some. I kept on playing Dr. Tanaka’s words in my head, like a broken record. Over and over. “So! The truth now. What did the good doctor had to say about Louis’ condition?” I sighed and said, “Well, he didn’t really say much, one way or the other. I can see where he’s coming from, not to give me false hope. He was cautious but remains optimistic. Louis is in what they call the ‘Vegetative State,’ which is the middle of three levels of commas.” “I see. So it’s ...

Fragmento de esta historia: —“¡Benito! ¡Benito!” Grité, pero no me respondió. Otro gruñido proveniente de mi derecha llamó mi atención; el sonido estaba muy cerca de mí como para ignorarlo. Instintivamente volteé la cara hacia el gruñido para ver si podía ver algo en la oscuridad. El viento estaba empezando a entrar de nuevo por la ventana, pensé que tal vez habíamos estado durante un minuto en el ojo del huracán -o lo que eso fuera- y ahora venía el resto de él, a pasarnos por encima de nuevo. Algo me saltó encima, derribándome al suelo; me golpee la cabeza contra ...

Fragmento de la obra: Eduardo iba a la cabeza del grupo, entró y vio el sitio hecho un desastre total con mesas tiradas, vidrios por todos lados, un par de cadáveres cerca de la entrada. Le pareció ver a una tercera persona tirada en el piso -unos metros más adelante. Pero esa persona se movía. - A-a-ayúda-me… -Dijo una mujer, casi sin aliento, estirando un brazo hacia Eduardo. - ¡Dios mío! Hay alguien con vida allá… - Gritó Eduardo a sus ayudantes, al tiempo que señalaba con el dedo. Y su instinto de médico lo catapultó en automático hacia la persona todavía con vida. ...

Story Fragment: “Can’t you dig any faster? Damn it!” “Well, how deep did you dig, in the first place?” I asked. “Pretty deep,” Henry said and added, “Ah, you might find a few things there, too?” I stopped digging and said, “Things? What kind of things, Henry?” “Just some bones, that’s all.” “The journal not there?” Louis asked, while watching around. His police instincts had kicked in, since the slamming of the door. “It’s here, alright. Henry put other stuff in the hole.” “Actually… my trophies were there already, I just put the journal underneath ...

Story fragment: “Stop running, damn it!” I heard Carl behind me; he was still trying to catch up. It seemed he had been following me the whole time. I ran down the small hill, toward the river. Tom never looked at me, not once. He always seemed to look in the direction he pointed at; I wondered if it all was some sort of a hallucination on my part. As soon as I got close, Tom jumped into the water and disappeared in it. “Oh God! Don’t let him drown!” I yelled, without thinking Tom was already dead. I jumped into the river without any hesitation. All I could think of was getting my...

Fragment taken from this story: Jade went back to her seat and said, “We are not trying to be difficult, please. We just don’t want to keep on being victimized by the police. That’s all.” “I understand this is hard for you, but I also need to remind you the only victim here is Stewart Parks,” I said. They both sighed and nodded. Henry returned and shook his head no. I slightly nodded at him. Lucy turned to look at where Henry was but saw nothing; she then turned to look at me. It seemed to me she was starting to catch up on how the trick worked. “Lucy?” I said, trying to get...
