Horacio inherited his parent’s pets and he did his best to take care of them in the way his mother and father would have wanted. They had both loved the dog immensely and they treated him like a son. They named him Pollito, because as a puppy he would spend hours and hours chasing the chickens at the farm. After his parents disappeared, he just sat by the door all day long, waiting for them to come home. He didn’t eat. He slept by the door. He whimpered from time to time and nervously wagged his tail whenever he heard a noise. Then one day, during some heavy rains, a gust of wind swung the door open and Pollito ran out as fast as he could in one direction like he knew exactly where he was going. He was never seen again.

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.
