Their son, Horacio, moved in with his bachelor uncle from San Luis Potosí, Pablo Romero Vázquez, who his father got a job at the casino a couple of years before. He was a shy and awkward man, who spoke very little. He worked most nights until very late and slept through most days. He wasn’t much support for heartbroken Horacio, who was essentially self-sufficient at this point in his life. Not knowing what else to do, Horacio put his feelings in a box and buried the key deep inside him. He focused on his craft. The art of magic became spiritual to him. All they he had left went into reading about the greatest magicians, such as Harry Houdini and Howard Thurston. He worked on elaborate tricks, things he earlier didn’t think were possible, maybe they weren’t possible, to fill the hollow space inside of him.

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.
