Flores kept to himself mostly, but late-night visitors could occasionally be seen on small boats paddling to the house through the moonlight. Most of them were other eccentrics from parts unknown. Early one morning, a man was fishing for mojarra 100 meters from the shore and thought he heard a gunshot coming from the island. He noticed shadowy figures paddling to shore and he went into town to report the incident. When the police arrived, they found Mr. Flores’ mutilated body in the lion cage. The official report was that he was killed by the lion, however, that didn’t explain the gunshot that the fishermen heard or the people in the boat. Many doubted the claim.

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.
