I have withered within me all human hope. With every silent leap of a sullen beast, I have downed and strangled every joy. I have called for executioners; I want to perish chewing on their gun butts. I have called for plagues, to suffocate in sand and blood. Unhappiness has been my god. I have lain down in the mud, and dried myself off in the crime-infested air. I have played the fool to the point of madness.

Palabras, palabras, palabras. Plegarias nocturnas. Las que no se dijeron y ahora piensan y que en sus mentes son desgarrados alaridos, gritos de ansiedad y amor. Dos letanías silenciosas, y yo en medio de esa extraña tormenta, cerca de un planeta creado por ellos que jamás habitaron. Dos seres frágiles que añoran estar juntos y ser olvidados, y la vida, como un muro, interponiéndose.
~ Santiago Gamboa
