“Why can’t we go back to the way things were? Was it that bad? We were happy, weren’t we? We had enough to eat. A cozy bed to sleep in.”
“That place never really existed. Your memory only wants it to be that way.”
“Maybe I’m reflecting too fondly of the old days, you might be right. But we had good times. We smiled and laughed. We had friends. We had family. We had careers. We had a reason to get up every morning.”
“We didn’t understand what else was happening. This happiness relied on never-ending growth. On exploitation. On corruption. On slaves that didn’t know they were slaves. It was always unsustainable.”
“But there was magic, wasn’t there? I felt bliss. I know I did. Didn’t you feel it?”
“That wasn’t real magic. It was just the illusion of it.”
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.
