I remember that I arrived alone with my suitcase, what I was wearing and thirty dollars. My grandmother was waiting for me at the airport, with my uncle Pablo. We spent two hours on the way home, since they lived in a town far from the city. The house was the same as he had left it six years ago, but he felt a sadness and loneliness that he had never felt before. Pá was not there.

The town was big, but with few people. Most of the people who live here are over sixty years old, the young people who have been born here at the least opportunity to leave go away. There are not many things to see or to spend time on. You could say that there is only one thing of everything or there is nothing.

He arrived shortly after my arrival, in the same week to be exact. Everyone in the village had begun to talk, it was not normal that in two short time two unrelated people would come. They said he was a descendant of the accursed family. Well he stayed in the land that belonged to them. They had already started giving him time to die.

But he did not, he never did.

And everything began to change after they arrived.
