As the hotel business boomed, Raymundo was doing quite well financially. Not to mention that his son, still a teenager, was nearly making as much money as he was as a magician. He purchased a property that was just an hour by car to the northwest, a wild terrain, untouched by Santa María’s ongoing sprawl. He overheard a man at the bank mention it at the hotel bar, pushed a couple of martinis in his direction and by the end of the night the papers were signed. This is what his wife had long desired, especially since her father died. It would be a place for the family, surrounded by nature, far from the chaos that had engulfed the town. There would be a garden for her to grow her flowers, aside of space for a few animals and plots papayas and corn for them to tend to in their old age. They would go on the weekends and holidays at first, but gradually make it their permanent home.

Santa Maria de las Rocas collection image

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.
