In the dead of summer, in the scorching heat of the early afternoon, so hot that not even the birds would tweet, Roberto Quiñones and Abraham Chávez noticed a dead boar on the plaza. Right in the center, beside the cathedral, in front of the fountain. It was rotting in the sun. They could see that maggots were starting to eat it from the inside out. How long had it been there? The vultures wouldn’t even touch it. How did it die? It wasn’t bloody. There did not seem to be any bite marks or wounds. It wasn’t thin or full of mange. It was an adult, but not elderly. You could tell because the teeth on its lower jaw were not worn down. It seemed like a perfectly healthy boar. What brought it here? What did it mean? It baffled them. They should probably tell someone about it, but they had a lunch to get to.
A novella by Nicholas Gill and Alejandro Cartagena.
A collection of 151 “expired photographs” that were thrown out, collected from a tianguis outside of Mexico City by photographer and archivist Alejandro Cartagena and then pieced together and reimagined by writer Nicholas Gill. The 151-page novella tells the tale of the fictional town of Santa María de las Rocas, located in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
The story traces this coastal community from its humble origins at the turn of the century to the 1980s, as it corresponds to real events in the history of this corner of Mexico. As years pass, the landscape changes and the community grows and develops. There’s corruption and violence, magic and hope. Characters fall in love and fall apart. Their voices are heard. Their songs are sung.
The existence of this project is designed to question the very nature of storytelling and its possibilities in the digital age. As such, it’s done as a CO0, for free public use.
