<span style="line-height: 150%;">I
can’t sleep, again. I see them all over me, figures that look like
demons, human with horns of all kinds, twisted and spiraling in
different directions, all of them running towards me trying to hurt
me, I have something at the ready to bring them down too, it’s not
like I run through the tunnels without being at the ready in one way
or the other.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">It’s
the valve, that stupid moss colored valve that continues to push
forth all this shit through the tunnels, and everywhere in general,
but I can’t fully blame it, I am responsible for bringing them here
too, without caring much as to what consequences this could have in
the long run, although I must admit that only very few have ever
managed to achieve anything of particular value, the scoreboard still
gives us more points than all of their houses combined, also if they
were not breaking each other down every time they see the opportunity
they would have achieved more, this was also done on purpose though,
one of the few things I am proud of them is that they control their
own population by their own means.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">Back
to the damned valve, it’s not the valve itself, hidden inside a
temple over at a city that was swallowed by the desert twenty
thousand years ago, it’s the energy its attached to that makes it a
gateway, to be blunt, this valve belonged to the main reactor line
inside the core of Atlantis, once the valve was closed and the valve
pulled off the reactor went very fast into critical mass, the entire
city at that point had been lost to the madness of the inhabitants,
Lovecraft described it better than anyone else, this city with
strange non-geometrical forms that make no sense to the human mind,
considering that the human mind was and continues to be in a rather
primitive state in comparison to our Atlantean cousins this is
understandable, they went too far, too deep, too fast, in the end the
city was more of a hellish landscape than an actual city of “Peace and
Prosperity” as it once had been announced, the only logical thing
to do back then was to sink it and sink it we did, we also, by we I
mean I, miscalculated the amount of time it would take for the
reactor to go critical and we barely made it out, while this did not
destroy the city in its entirety it brought it down into the pacific
ocean where it will probably remain for another millennia, a couple of
centuries if humanity figures out the importance of the city.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">We
go back to the valve, again; the energy emanated from the reactor and
the inhabitants permeated on everything, the world is full of this
energy which is not visible from outside Earth due to a long standing
veil created to protect humanity from what lives outside of our home
planet, this works both ways so we can’t see anything and they
can’t see us, but we also have to deal with our own demons and no
one is ready to face an onslaught of Atlanteans, not yet.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">All
except a few are ready, one sits at the Throne of the Pillars, the
throne of one of the Atlantean Lords when the city still existed,
there is a gate behind the throne which connected to one of the gates
inside the core, while this gate is currently not functioning due to
the energy being cut off from the core it could potentially be
re-routed to be used through other gates, the danger this poses to
the planet is considerable but there are two problems.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">The
first problem is that there is little recollection of the existence
of the pillars and their purpose, those who know do not visit as
there is no reason to, in another plane this is a small fortress with
no visible purpose other than watch the crossing of the Mediterranean
through close proximity from Gibraltar, it is no coincidence that the British decided to keep it.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">The
second problem is that of those who do visit and stay there have a
tendency of going mad with seclusion, since this is a small fortress
there is nothing inside of it aside from a set of barracks, a small
patio and the throne room where the pillars can be seen, the current
guardian holds no objection with being there but it does not stay
there often citing no need to do so. I do not concur with the
guardian but it is also understandable that after one hundred
thousand years it is near impossible for the gate to be used in any
way or form, it is also possible that the gate is non-functional from
this side too but we go back to square one, by the time Atlantis fell
mostly everyone had forgotten how the things around them worked and
everything was taken as-is, if it worked fine, if it didn’t it was
lost, there was no way to fix it, only the school of engineers had a
slight idea of how things worked but going through the voluminous
materials available to them was an impossible task for anyone.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">Even
today I still have not managed to go through the entirety of the
archives, I have sat for centuries, reincarnating time and time again, just to try and figure out
chapters which are so esoteric that only those who wrote them would
ever understand what they meant, if they even understood what they were writing about.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
This is a bit of information that has been going around in my head
lately, I have had this discussion with myself plenty of times and I
am putting it down in stone, the main reason being to formalize it,
the real reason is that I do not forget all of the little details.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I’ll
talk about this in different points, trying to stay on target as much
as I can:</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1)
The Yayeri and Ban</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The
Yayeri are anthropomorphic fox like creatures that have resided most
of their life in the continent of Ban’loi, the Land of the Sun God
in their language, with little contact with the exterior, since the
continent is located on the southern hemisphere of the world the
continent has considerably low temperatures that allow for little
farming periods, furthermore there is little to use as cover from the
elements aside from burrows where the primitive Yayeri lived.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ban,
from whom little is known, was a curious Yayerum that was the first
to organize the Yayeri into larger tribes and use this power for the
better, war was never an issue with the Yayeri, their communities
were far too little and sparsely communicated, a war for resources or
dominance would have given little back and a union was conceived for
a greater purpose.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
While
primitive, the Yayeri had stone tools and had tampered with the idea
of building deeper burrows for larger families, Ban guided the tribes
to build on the side of the larger mountain sides of Ban Senoi, as it
is known today the Ribs of the Sun God as these would come to protect
the Yayeri and their progress as a civilization.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
During
the initial digging the Yayeri found a deep cavern system high enough
into the mountain range, these caverns were large enough to
accommodate most of the tribes, the digging project at the bottom was
left and the tribes moved into these systems, but with this came new
problems, heating primarily and a new system to move resources from
the valley had to be conceived to get what was needed at the top, the
Yayeri from this event would slowly split into two groups, those who
remained in Ban Senoi and those who would become the inhabitants of
the Ban Illin, the Womb of the Sun God.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
From
this period on little is known, the legend of Ban is formed from a
heroic feat, being inside the cavern system Ban found what was
believed to be the top of the mountain from the inside, breaking
through with one mighty blow brought down part of the cavern ceiling,
with it came light and ice, a river would rapidly form, lakes and
canals created to route the water and use it in farming, Ban
disappeared afterwards, the Yayeri claim that this event came to be
the ascension.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
2)
The formation of the religious head and leader in <i>absentia</i>,
the Emperor</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In
the fantasy setting that I have built for years there is one title
that is above all, the title of Emperor of the Draconian Empire, the
evolution of this title happens through several events related to
Dracontyr, the first Emperor, but will continue to evolve through the
next thousand years.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
With
Ban gone the tribes had no leader to follow up on the steps, a
consensus was reached that someone would rule in absence until the
return where Ban would guide them again, through a complicated
evolution the title of ruler also became the religious head, the Cult
of Ban rapidly grew and with it came very severe rules to control
events that were slowly getting out of hand.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Establishing
two main tribes allowed for those living in the valley to concentrate
on farming, those that lived in the mountain range could concentrate
in production of other items, this included the formation of a
military caste in charge of keeping order, specially with those
living in the valley who continuously came to question the rule of
the Emperor.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Through
exploration the Yayeri came in contact with other members of their
own species spread all over the continent, these continued to live in
small burrows, some would come to immediately join the tribes, others
would oppose and a few would want nothing to do with either party, a
bloody war would ravage most of the valley and surrounding areas,
never to reach those who lived in the mountain range, the Emperor
would see that everyone came into the fray of Ban one way or the
other.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
3)
The declaration of the Sacrosanct Empire</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The
unification took a considerable time, Emperors would come and go
during this time-span, a more rigid control was enacted to keep the
tribes in check and with this came the era of the establishment of
the Ban’Zin, the Laws of the Sun God. The laws brought changes such
as the formal division of the tribes around the Ban’Loi, a census
came to be passed and with it forced recruitment for the Ban’Tan,
the Hand of the Sun God, the “personal army” of Ban and thus the
Emperor, as Ban was not around to command them, except in the rare
case when a dream came to the Emperor that mandated to do something,
the Emperor would have full control of this army.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
With
the continuous expansion and rule over the Ban’Loi a formal
declaration was made, the Ban Senoi would become the Temple and Holy
City of Ban, the center of Ban’Loi and from where control and
orders were to be sent from, leaders of each region would be
established, trade and commerce would be centralized in the Holy
City, the Sacrosanct Yayerum Empire, the Most Holy Government over
All, was declared.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Note:
The Yayeri did not have a term for other races or civilizations until
much later, during the establishment and expansion of the Draconian
Empire, thus the Yayeri understood this declaration as referring to
All, to this date they still tend to refer to everything this way,
only changing the term when referring to ALL of other SPECIES.

the Humans)</div>

<br />
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The old man traveled through the canal admiring the surrounding area,
what once had been a decadent yet sprawling city was now dormant, a
slowly banishing legacy of times where humanity prospered beyond the
ghastly domes and spires they called home.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The old man knew
the surrounding area well up to the main bridge everyone called the
<b>black bridge</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">, no one dared
cross from that point on with no specific reason as to why this was
like this, the old man was not </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">superstitious</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">
but did care more for his life than younger peers, many of which
never made it back many years ago.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> His
raft was somewhat impressive considering the type of material used
was rare to find, the old man played it off and ignored the requests
to know more of the source, in reality the old man knew quite well
what was beyond the </span><b>black bridge.</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b> </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">While
young this man had traveled to the </span><b>black bridge</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
and beyond, discovered a large settlement that thrived by trading
with the neighbors to the north and south of their location, some of
these neighbors knew quite well of a place where they could get some
quality metal.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> This
metal would indeed prove to be a valuable trading commodity, the old
man at that time had helped dismantle some of the old ships in order
to recycle the materials, for this effort he was rewarded
considerably with land, a house and enough trading currency to live a
few years in basic comfort </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">without
the need to work.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
But the young man decided to leave this behind and move north, to
where the old Corporations ruled for many years and where their left
over monuments littered the horizon, many works also being undertaken
to bring them down for new uses, destroying a history they did not
wish to remember.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> During
one of the operations the group in which he worked made a discovery
that chilled them to the bone, a human trapped in a metal cocoon,
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">alive, waking this human up
had been a terrible mistake as it took wrathful vengeance upon them,
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">they ran, not too far but
they ran.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
young man was the last one alive, the ghost of the old world </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">warned
him about coming for him if he ever returned to this land and to warn
the rest to leave or suffer the same fate, the young man warned
anyone who would hear him and kept running back home.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">To
this date the old man watches the </span><b>black bridge</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">,
he was saw the silhouette of a figure he immediately recognized as
the ghost of the old world, for a day they looked at each other
without making a move, the ghost faded and so did the spirit of the
young man.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The city changes and I feel
nostalgia, I am starting to understand why it becomes such a big thing when one
grows up and sees everything slowly change or go away, Tijuana is changing at a
fast rate, there are medium sized buildings showing up everywhere around the
west side of the city, the place where I grew up has most houses building a
second floor or fixing it to a more modern standard, the old fad of imported
cars is almost gone, people are driving newer cars but the streets are becoming
full, even the highway is starting to look too packed for a city that was never
intended to grow this big, downtown is also changing fast, the old 90’s
downtown of two dollars for one beer is going out, most buildings have <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mysteriously </i>burnt down and being
replaced by larger buildings that can take up half a block, Plaza Rio is
getting a five story parking section when twenty five years ago you would not half
of the original floor parking full at any given time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">One thing that has not
changed, even if newspapers don’t talk too much about it, are the violent crimes
in this city, from the late 80’s to this date it has been a common occurrence, the
level of gore and explicit sadism became something that headlined newspapers
during one of the most violent waves of crime from 2008 to 2010. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Why all of this? Because
the city, this country and Mexican culture have shown me that death is an
everyday thing and I have become somewhat desensitized.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The first time I saw
someone die was in 2004, I was going to work and dropped near Plaza Rio, when I
was about to cross from one side of the avenue to the other a man ran, all of a
sudden a Honda crashes with him as the man is running through the other side of
the avenue, the man flew a couple of meters, his shoes came flying out, I just
remembered that back in the 90’s I saw a lot of shoes hanging from wires around
the place where I lived and school, not sure why. So the person flew, shoes
off, he dropped and cracked his head wide open, I was about to run to drag him
but when I saw this I stood there, staring at the corpse, it didn’t take long
for an ambulance to come over and declare him dead on the spot, the man driving
the car had stopped and was horrified at what had happened, probably out of
shame, fear or any other reason but he remained there until they took the
corpse away and then the police took him away, I was late to work for about an
hour but I gave no explanation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Some time later I was
going back from work, probably somewhere around 2008 or 2009, and I was walking
close to a taco stand that has been there since the beginning of time, the place
was empty, the street, everything was quiet, the guy serving was alone and
looked nervous, I asked him what was wrong and he said someone had been gunned
down just half a block away where a mechanics shop was, I asked him if someone
had called the police, he wasn’t sure and he wasn’t about to start doing so, I
asked for some tacos and walked to the place, metal doors had been shot through,
at least forty bullet holes, I could make a silhouette of what looked like a
body and what looked like bullets holes in the bricks at the end, I got back to
the taco stand and called the police from a payphone next to it, I didn’t give
my name, police came a couple of minutes later and were doing their thing, I
was eating tacos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">During that same period
I was working at a factory that was doing medical devices, I was in the IT
department and sometimes I would stay late to fix something that could
definitely not be fixed during normal hours, that day I was with a co-worker
who was finishing something else and we lingered for a while until we noticed
it being far too late, we moved out and found a group of production engineers
outside the plant who were having a smoke and coffee while chatting about some
pending items, we joined them for a while, then we heard it, rapid firing from
a couple of blocks away and a truck speeding away hauling ass, we also hauled ass
but for whatever reason we walked down to the main boulevard and there it was,
a police blockade and three police pickup trucks lined one against the other,
we had to go around and once we did we were in front of the police trucks, by
chance the blockade ended there and we were staring at eight corpses of police
officers, the gruesome scenario shocked us both, I can still remember one of
the police officers missing half of his head with everything splattered on what
was left of the back window, another officer was leaning against his door
trying to pickup something, probably his rifle, and was twisted in the most disheartening
way, I can still see the image in my head clearly, these people were living
human beings and regardless of who their were, their profession, if they were
clean or not, they were dead and had been left as terrifying sculptures to
prove it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In another instance we
were returning to work from lunch, as we were going up hill from the same
street where we had previously seen the dead officers we saw a car crashed
against a light pole, the person inside was leaning on the steering wheel, the
person was obviously gone and it was not the crash, someone had got to this
person and crashing there had been the end result.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On the rare occasion when
I was at my desk someone noticed that there was a military truck down on some
of the houses below the industrial park, at first the military had done nothing,
some police officers were in the scene but were also waiting for something,
after a while the military went into a house in the middle of relatively empty
lot, we assumed that they were rescuing someone from inside the house, it took
them some time to get back out, once they did they came out with corpses
covered in white sheets, a lot of corpses, all being loaded into the military
truck, we never saw any hostages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Another co-worker back
then was hanging with the wrong crowd, he was a good person though, recently
married, had bought a new motorcycle and was visiting this guy at his mechanic
shop, this guy in particular had worked with narcs and supposedly he was out of
it, but everyone knows that you can’t go out of this without paying a hefty
price, so our co-worker had gone with this person at the end of his shift on a Friday,
other co-workers were to join him but for one reason or the other they never
got there, from what we understand the person in question was not at the shop
that day, only his assistant, and our co-worker, some henchmen went into the
shop and started asking for the owner, the mechanic, and something about drugs
that were owned to their boss, long story short the assistant was burnt on the
backyard of the shop and our co-worker was shot thirteen times in the face, when
we were informed of his death and eventual funeral we thought it to be a joke
only to find him on the coffin a couple of days before Christmas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>A
friend, I knew him briefly, who made the original iron front logo for a metal
bar, El Divan de Alivia, that does not exist anymore, only in our hearts, but
this person had a heart of gold, this man would help anyone he could, a true
friend but a person with problems, with debts, his choice was eventually to go
do the wrong thing, apparently he was successful in his task but was shot in
the back of the head at the end of the heist, the owner of the bar knew
something was up but did not suspect that something like this was to happen, when
the funeral was done I did not attend because I felt I did not know him well
enough to be there, a lot of people went though, that’s just me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The
man with the hat and the kid ride Justice to the statue of mother
Leucippe, a marble statue standing on a large pedestal, standing on
her right foot, left leg extended back, on her left hand a large
piece of cloth with something written in it, on her right hand a
large spear extended forward as if trying to pierce something or
someone, her head looking forward with a face of pain and wrath, on
her left cheek a tear rolling down halfway.</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
As
both got close the man with the hat read the plaque: “Here you find
what is left of mother Leucippe, mother to all kings and empress of
the world. What she has given only she can take”</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“What
does that mean?” Asked the kid at the man with the hat</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“What
part of it all?” Asked the man with the hat back</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Everything”</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“It
is split in three parts, the first part talks about what is left of
her, no one knows where Leucippe rests” The kid looked intrigued at
the statue</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“So
how do they know that this is how she looked?”</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“No
one knows, this is an assumption, if you look closely her face has
little details on her, she is the unknown mother of the world”</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Why
is she the mother of the world?”</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Legend
says that she gave birth to the first king of all men, if this is
true then she is mother to all kings and the empress of the world, in
other words she has given birth to all of those who control the
world”</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“But
aren’t those bad people?”</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Some
of them, but the way to hell is paved with good intentions so I can’t
tell you, you need to use your own judgement, what I can tell you
though is that she is a vengeful mother and one that does not take
lightly on tyranny, she is said to have given birth to the first kill
but also of killing him, the first regicide of the world”</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Is
that why she carries a spear on her right hand?”</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Most
certainly, it is symbolic too you know? To signify that no one is out
of her reach, that is also why she carries that piece of cloth with
her, so that all that sees may know that from the very cloth of that
same king she killed she wrote a letter to the world”</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“What
does it say?”</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“A
mothers last wish is the death of her own son, but when her son kills
all others there is no choice, a mother must do what she will, from
her ripped to life has come a tyrant and all tyrants must be put to
death, by her own hand back to other fields to bring health to other
wombs, it is by my own hand that this and all tyrants are to rest,
death to all tyrants”</div>

Michel Foucault<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;">Arqueología e Historia de las Ideas. –<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;">Foucault plantea las diferencias entre lo que se denomina
la Historia de las Ideas, este sistema que no parece estar bien definido o suena
como algo demasiado engorroso y complicado para poder ser trabajado
apropiadamente, sumido en miles de posibilidades que están atadas directamente
a las mentalidades que estudian, y la Arqueología, que define un aparato que no
fuese formalizador ni interpretativo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;">Se puede describir la Historia de las Ideas como la
Historia de las mentalidades, como la disciplina de las interferencias, la que
estudia los comienzos y los fines, describiendo las continuidades oscuras y de
los retornos, de la reconstitución de los desarrollos en la forma lineal de la
historia, atravesar las disciplinas existentes para tratarlas e interpretarlas,
es más un estilo de análisis y un sistema de perspectiva en donde se habla del
fondo empírico y no reflexivo, describe el paso del no-ser al ser, habla de
nacimientos sordos, de génesis, continuidad y totalización, de aquello que está
mal fundamentado y no tiene sistema formal, la filosofía espontanea de aquellos
que no filosofaban<a href="file:///C:/Users/VicenteMunoz/Downloads/Arqueologia%20e%20Historia%20de%20las%20Ideas.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>.

<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;">Un ejemplo que explica dentro de esta sección da a
entender cómo es que la Historia de las Ideas funciona en práctica:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;">Existen tres pasos que toma este conocimiento que
viaja del saber científico, al filosófico y eventualmente a las obras
literarias<a href="file:///C:/Users/VicenteMunoz/Downloads/Arqueologia%20e%20Historia%20de%20las%20Ideas.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>,
aunque consideremos que también puede viajar del conocimiento filosófico al
científico y ahí a la literatura, no debemos tampoco entender que ese modelo está
escrito en piedra ni que la literatura no pueda fungir como iniciador o
intermediario, este es simplemente el ejemplo que Foucault presenta.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;">Un ejemplo mas palpable es el de la Ciencia Ficción
como Literatura, en su momento tuvo un auge considerable y hoy esta ramificado
y vive al margen, el estudio de esta rama nos demuestra que su nombre deriva,
de manera algo obvia, de ciencias mas duras que en algunos casos pasaron por
otras ramas, como la Historia (Asimov y su antología de Fundación), Política,
(Heinlein y Tropas del Espacio) o Filosofía (Heinlein y Forastero en tierra
extraña), la escalera presentada funciona de arriba hacia abajo y viceversa al
realizar un análisis sobre estos temas que en su momento fueron una novedad y
hoy viven generalmente al margen a excepción cuando algo quiebra el paradigma o
el modelo sobre el cual fue construido para, eventualmente, caer hacia el borde.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;">Desde este meta, alejado en la temporalidad y espacio
en el que fue construido, se estudia esta trinidad, la trabaja el Historiador, Antropólogo,
Sociólogo o quien sea que tome el interés en esta rama, estudian algo caduco,
su propósito es encontrar todo aquello que esta oculto, tratar de obtener
nuevos significados que se nos han escapado.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;">Pero no todo es tan glorioso en este mundo de lo
marginal, y si somos honestos el trabajar o vivir con lo marginal no siempre ha
sido bien visto en la historia de la humanidad, el hecho de buscar trabajar con
este tipo de material presenta varias dificultades, mas allá de que buscamos
hablar de un discurso que puede o no existir y que se está forzando sobre el
objeto de estudio, por lo anterior debemos poner en la mesa la complejidad de
aterrizar una idea apropiadamente, la delimitación y discriminación de fuentes puede
ser complicado debido a la posibilidad de abundancia de ellas, tal vez Foucault
peca de esto en <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Vigilar y Castigar</i>, y
parafraseando al mismo Foucault la Historia de las ideas estudian un objeto
incierto, con fronteras mal dibujadas y métodos tomados de acá y allá, sin
rectitud ni fijeza<a href="file:///C:/Users/VicenteMunoz/Downloads/Arqueologia%20e%20Historia%20de%20las%20Ideas.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;">¿Qué es la Arqueología que menciona Foucault? A través
de <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">La arqueología del saber </i>ha
explicado una serie de nociones, que incluye la formación discursiva, positivad
y archivo, y un dominio, que son los enunciados, el campo enunciativo y las
practicas discursivas, si bien menciona que es algo pretensioso agregar un
sistema más para el estudio del discurso cuando ya existen varios antes que
este. El propósito de liberarse o distanciarse de la Historia de las Ideas,
sobre la cual el mismo ha caído, es una de las razones de la existencia de lo

dos razones, es muy ciego y mantiene una fe muy cerrada sobre lo que estudia o
no comprende lo que está haciendo, aunque lo pretenda, por ende, este tipo de
Historiador tiembla cuando le preguntan: “¿Para qué sirve la Historia?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Las Meninas. -</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">No
tomo el primer tema porque sea lo primero que aparece en el texto de
Las Palabras y las Cosas, lo tomo debido a que las consideraciones
realizadas por Michel Foucault respecto al cuadro de Las Meninas, el
cuadro de Velázquez, son importantes para el Historiador en la
actualidad y durante mi carrera he tenido la oportunidad de comprender
algunas de ellas.</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">La
relación que sostiene el ejemplo presentado con la realidad del
Historiador se puede descubrir en una pequeña porción de lo que menciona
Foucault al principio de este capítulo, “podría adivinarse lo que el
pintor ve, si fuera posible lanzar una mirada sobre la tela en la que
trabaja; pero de esta solo se percibe la trama, los montantes en la
línea horizontal y, en la vertical, el sostén oblicuo del caballete”</span><a data-mce-href="#_ftn1" href="https://www.evernote.com/Home.action?login=true#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" shape="rect"><span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[1]</span></span></a><span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">El
deseo oculto del Historiador jamás será cumplido, el conocer la
Historia en si es una imposibilidad que le somete a analizar
constantemente su objeto de estudio por medio de diferentes
herramientas, métodos y procesos, la burbuja temporal que observa, ese
fenómeno del que tanto esta enamorado, es solo un reflejo cada vez más
lejano de la realidad que se presentó, y en este caso se plasmó.</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">¿Sera
acaso un pesimismo el que absorbe entonces al Historiador, para que
trabajar entonces en un tema que jamás puede llegar a conocer en su
totalidad, o es acaso algo más que le aferra a continuar buscando en
significados, interpretaciones y etimologías lo que es este, su objeto
de estudio, ante el resto del mundo? Una opinión muy personal del tema
es que el Historiador es como el Clérigo, estudia y trabaja su religión y
confía en que su Dios existe, aunque jamás lo ha visto, de la misma
forma el Historiador es ciego en este sentido al estudiar y trabajar lo
que es su ciencia, o arte, o cualquiera que sea su denominación, y
confía en que la Historia existe.</span><a data-mce-href="#_ftn2" href="https://www.evernote.com/Home.action?login=true#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" shape="rect"><span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[2]</span></span></a><br />

<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dejando
el pesimismo de lado consideremos entonces el cuadro, podemos llegar a
comprenderlo de diferentes maneras, como lo hemos mencionado
anteriormente, y esto se deriva del método de observación, metodología o
procesos involucrados, pero a esto no podemos agregar el trasplantar
nuestra <i>psique</i> al siglo XVII para comprender en plena totalidad
lo que se trató de hacer implícito en el cuadro y que desde el siglo
XXI se nos oculta y que por más que tratemos de evadir es donde nos
encontramos posicionados para mirar hacia el pasado. </span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">El cuadro de <i>Las Meninas</i>
es uno de muchos ejemplos en los cuales podemos basarnos para hablar de
este tema, todo lo que existe lo hace en este momento, no existe un
ayer para el cuadro ni un mañana, es un hoy en el que esta presente, en
el cual se interpreta, el objeto no ha cambiado de ninguna manera,
aunque puede estar conservado o encontrarse en un peor estado del que se
encontraba originalmente, esto no le hace ser mas diferente de lo que
es por sí mismo.</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">¿Qué cumple entonces el cuadro para el Historiador o la Historia? Es un espejo o reflejo, en el caso de <i>Las Meninas </i>es
un doble-espejo debido al cuadro reflejado de los reyes Españoles
Felipe IV y Mariana de Austria, aunque según Foucault: “no es como
tradicionalmente se manejaba en la pintura holandesa en la cual se podía
descomponer y componer bajo una ley diferente”</span><a data-mce-href="#_ftn3" href="https://www.evernote.com/Home.action?login=true#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" shape="rect"><span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[3]</span></span></a><span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">. </span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">El problema reside en que un espejo no es necesariamente claro, le podríamos llamar un <i>espejo de obsidiana</i>
debido a lo oscuro y esotérico que puede volverse el interpretar un
cuadro, su significado, la razón de su existencia, los actores o
cualquier objeto relacionado a este, en el mundo queda oculto su
significado ya que mientras crece y progresa el lenguaje se pierde una
parte del bagaje que carga y a su vez lo que pudiéramos interpretar a
ciencia cierta de este.</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">¿Qué
nos presenta el cuadro, removiendo esta sensibilidad del Historiador
que queda plasmada en este ensayo? Que las figuras representadas en el
cuadro están atadas a la realidad de su momento, existe un complejo
contexto histórico el cual ha llevado a la existencia del cuadro y los
actores u objetos en este caso, el pintor es un pintor, la infanta
Margarita de Austria es eso nada más, no es el objeto del deseo de una
Corona extranjera ni una pieza importante en el complejo escenario
político del siglo XVII, en el punto más absurdo podríamos poner sobre
la mesa que es una niña en un cuadro, capricho de su padre que exista
dicho cuadro, los que le rodean son sus sirvientes o allegados, familia,
amigos, el hombre que mira desde el fondo puede ser alguien que
simplemente quiere observar lo que hace el pintor, o tal vez este
saliendo de la escena, su pose no permite conocer su dirección a ciencia
cierta y con esto las posibilidades quedan abiertas a interpretación al
igual que la locación del cuarto en donde se pinta el cuadro, Foucault
indica que es el Escorial, el palacio Real Español, donde esto sucede
pero de no saber esto podría ser cualquier lugar en el mundo.</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">El
autor no es Diego Velázquez, es una figura que queda plasmada a un lado
del cuadro, aunque por consideración podríamos decir que al no tener
precedente que el autor se representa a sí mismo en una obra que le fue
encargada podría ser el centro de este. A ultima consideración de
Velázquez es que es como el cuadro de René Magritte llamado <i>Esto no es una pipa</i>
en el cual representa a una pipa mas no lo es propiamente, un ejemplo
de una limitación entre el lenguaje y los objetos que trata de
representar, Velázquez en el cuadro no es Velázquez, aunque el lenguaje
así lo indique.</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">¿Que
observan los actores de este cuadro, acaso es el cuadro de los Reyes
Españoles frente a ellos o Velázquez, pensando en aquellos que verían el
cuadro terminado, figuraba a todos estos actores para que a la vez que
observan a los Reyes también puedan observar de la misma manera a
aquellos que visitan esta burbuja temporal? Considerando esto podríamos
decir que Velázquez inconscientemente le ha heredado el poder de los
Reyes a todo el que posa sus ojos sobre este cuadro, aunque sea por un
instante.</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">El
enfoque del cuadro es de igual manera claro, más allá de la Infanta o
Las Meninas, sus sirvientes, o Velázquez, es el enfoque sobre los
actores del cuadro y no sobre el lugar que los rodea ya que debido al
manejo de claroscuro no es muy evidente pero si se presta atención el
lugar está rodeado de cuadros los cuales no se pueden apreciar de manera
correcta, solo es aquello lo que está en primer plano y el hombre que
visita o se aleja al fondo del cuadro los que están visibles, dando a

continuar estudiando el cuadro desde el punto en el cual nos

<span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">El hombre de la montaña nos ha dejado claro algo cuando ha bajado al Mercado de la Plaza, ha aprendido algo en su viaje- El hombre del sombrero menciono al niño que viajaba con él, ambos observan con detalle al hombre de la montaña quien a su vez les observa con el mismo detalle de vuelta, les había abordado ya que veía en ellos una mirada diferente a la de los demás, esos ojos estaban llenos de curiosidad y vida al contrario que el de la mayoría quienes podían verse un vacío oscuro reflejado en sus ojos.</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

Nosotros pasamos por un proceso parecido al aprender, somos duros, creemos saberlo todo, eventualmente algo quiebra y fluimos con ello, aprendemos algo, nos evaporamos ya que nos hemos extendido tanto como hemos podido para aprender y nos volvemos sólidos para cementar ese conocimiento adquirido, la montaña somos nosotros y viceversa, eso es lo que he aprendido de ella. -</span></div>

Nunca le ha pasado que aprende simplemente por hablar con alguien más, no necesariamente tiene que ser un tema filosófico, uno aprende de todo lo que le rodea si escucha, observa y calla antes de decir una sola palabra, no había puesto en consideración todo lo que la Montana me había ensenado ya que nunca tuve el momento de meditarlo propiamente, el hablar con alguien más abre un momento de meditación para aprender que es lo que está mal con uno y con el otro.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
At last, after
so many years Paradox Interactive has decided to push out a new Grand Strategy
game in the Roman Era, their previous development was called Europa
Universalis: Rome and the expansion, Rome – Vae Victis, sure added something to
the game but at the time I felt it lacking, needing much love and a revamp of
some of the awkward mechanics inherited, from my own perspective, from an earlier
version of Europa Universalis III and a limited engine, if memory does not fail
me there was this great improvement on the Europa Universalis III engine that
made it look fantastic from the original blob it presented itself like.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Something that
stroke me as interesting when trying Crusader Kings II back when it came out
was the fact that it shared some of the mechanics of the Rome game, it had individuals
with their own goals and ambitions which could lead an army, govern, rebel,
plot murder, all the goody stuff CK2 players enjoy so much nowadays was inherited
and polished (after a couple of expansions, mechanic revamps and other things
in between) to what we know today of it. From the side of Europa Universalis, I
am unsure how much it was inherited but I can be sure that with the current
version that is coming out, Imperator: Rome will greatly benefit from the Europa
Universalis IV mechanics and the now polished Crusader Kings 2 mechanics.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
At the time the
images that have shown up look great and remind me so much of the original Rome
games, there is no need to go for battles such as Total War, Total War is there
for those huge epic battles on the ground that you can enjoy from the shoulder
of the Legions you send down to cause havoc, no, we are here to enjoy the
massive intricacies of the military (with hopefully improved upgrade mechanics
that do not tie you to one update whenever the game feels like it and research
that was arbitrary as hell), political (I can already see the civic faction
breaking oh so many games, they broke so many of mine and caused so many
rebellions I would change the people in power five times before I got to
understand how the hell anything worked), diplomatic (hopefully as Rome you can
get some sweet <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">casus belli</i> to expand
your Empire all the way to Asia and also interesting decisions with your
neighbors so they don’t eat you alive from the get go such as that little devil
Pyrrhus breaking hell all over the shores of southern Italy) and religious
system (some of the bonuses were really broken and the fact that you could get
the total opposite to what you wished really made you think if you should even
consider it on your to-do list but if you did not do it then you were asking
for the religious faction on breaking your back every single time) of the Roman
Empire.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Other mechanics that
are coming back to my mind were the Legions your provincial Governors or Legate
would command a Legion which in turn would start to become loyal to him, on one
side this would be good because your treasury would be released from the much
needed money during the early state of the game, on the other hand these men had
become loyal to him so in case he rebelled they would stand by him no matter
what, this would lead to some <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">very</i>
interesting battles in which Legions would be fighting on the same square
against other members of the same Legion who had fought with them side by side.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
The sea battles
were horrible, and I could never understand why the Romans would not capture
more ships once they had discovered the retractable arm they could throw onto
other ships, in real life this would give the Romans the advantage they needed
over their much larger Carthagian foes as their sailors were not ready to face
the might of the Roman Legion from ship to ship. The mechanics were oddly
clunky and I was always praying my transported troops would make it to wherever
they had to go because losing one of my Legions, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">any </i>Legion, could cost me a bunch of territory.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Those barbarian
invasions were also a hell of an adventure to deal with, I would leave regional
legions (attached them to a local Governor who could be so useless at times) to
defend tracts of land such as northern Italy (the alps mostly and using the
bonuses of the mountains to my advantage) and fight the massive mothballs of up
to 100K barbarians, sure the slaves and money I would get from them would be absolutely
great and with the right politics you could get freedman and citizens in a considerably
breeze (quite some time to be honest) which would in turn help Civilization
push further out and bring the rest of the territories into being gloriously
Roman (because what else is better than to have 100 Civilization and be the
center of all European civilization, eh?)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
As a Historian
with a formal education one of the things that drove me to study History were
the Total War and Europa Universalis games, I was amazed by the Roman and
Medieval eras and to this day they continue to be some of my interests as a
Historian, I also believe that teaching through videogames is one of the best
ways for the current generations to learn about the many interesting aspect of
Humanity (even if this vision is eurocentrist).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Now, if only
Paradox Interactive would take their time to rework that Sengoku game they
made, I know that would be another really interesting period to visit and while
we are at it, a Victoria 3 game, anyone?</div>

<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }</style>
<br />
<div align="justify" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Back when the economic recession started I had just gotten a job,
mere chance actually, doing IT Desktop Support for a large medical
manufacturer (not sure if the largest in the city and if not the case
then second largest). The recession hit us hard down in Tijuana,
downtown quickly emptied from the usual American influence it had
seen for decades and crime was at an all time high (if memory does
not fail me it was either 2008 when we had more than one thousand
murders related to drug dealing). All of this made it very clear that
we were in for a rough ride yet I could not fully understand the
level of the recession until I went to San Diego somewhere in 2009, I
was going to see Testament at the House of Blues in Downtown San
Diego, for whatever reason the ticket I had paid for did not go
through (no charges to my credit card though) and I had to buy them
on the spot, the concert was not as full as I had expected but this
was in a way understandable seeing the current situation.</div>
<div align="justify" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
During my ride on the trolley I saw two things that was so ingrained
in my mind that even to this date I cannot forget them.
</div>
<div align="justify" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The first was this lady wearing a very expensive coat and a pearl
necklace, she was carrying around a large trash bag but I could not
see what was inside of it and then I see her moving next to a trash
can, opening the thing and picking up and smashing aluminum cans and
plastic bottles, the contrast of what I was seeing at that point made
me think that even the mighty can fall hard and that humans will do
everything they can to survive.</div>
<div align="justify" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The second thing I remember was a sort of architects office inside
Downtown, there was something akin to a rent for using a table on a
weekly or monthly basis and the place was full of drawing tables all
over the small place, when I looked slightly closer I could see some
kind of bulge sitting on top of one of the tables, a coat maybe, and
focusing on this particular object I noticed it was a person, but it
wasn’t just one, it seemed other people had taken the same
alternative of sleeping there, this got me thinking that they had
probably rented the table and slept <i>over</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
the table because, well, it doesn’t matter what you use the table
for if you rented it…</span></div>

I once met an old guy who worked at a flea market, one of the old ones, down at the last line of small locals, or was it the new one?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The old man had his store packed to the brim with old games, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Master System, he even claimed to have a Sega Neptune but I never saw it. The old man sold games at a super cheap price, even when I informed him on the prices on eBay for some of the games he didn't care because "he was a gamer at heart and wanted newer generations to try out what he had loved so much", this man was around 60 when I met him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What surprised me more is that he had some of the original tools to open the consoles and cartridges, he knew them in and out like no one else apparently, but what surprised me most was that any old game that did not work or was not selling he would change for a PCB of Super Mario Bros. 3, when I asked him why they were in a plastic bag he told me that that's how he had bought them, at that point he baffled me with what he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Back in the early 90s I met a Nintendo representative here in Tijuana, he was selling me a lot of 1000 unused PCB boards for Super Mario Bros. 3, I thought the offer was good and took him up for it, that is why I have so many copies left and that's why they are all still in the bag, unused".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So basically he had a lot of those boards in the back of his shop (I saw them, they were in unmarked boxes, they all looked brand new) and here I am wondering what this man thought he could achieve by doing this, sure he had the boards but not the cases yet here he was, removing old labels from the games, printing new ones and giving them away when he sold or fixed NES consoles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have not seen the old man in many years now.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
When I worked in
one of the many Call Centers here in Tijuana I had to chance to meet this lady
who was a killer top model employee doing collections for several agencies, from
what I heard back then from the co-workers, team lead and supervisor she was
always in the top bill and had managed to once collect more money than all of
her team mates combined, and from what I heard once she “couldn’t do it, she
didn’t have the heart, it wasn’t for her”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Turns out it was
for her, she made very large bonuses for this and got paid in cash, dollars, no
taxes in between.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
After she got
her bonus she would disappear for a couple of days then come back and keep working
the same pattern, when I asked the supervisor about it he said he did not care,
as long as she was making the numbers way above everyone else the company could
care less about this.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Years later I
found out that the reason she was missing work was because she was getting high
on crack, this really surprised me but apparently her daughter in the US who
was studying college (who may have or not existed for this matter) was not
getting that extra money she was making.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
The way they
found out about this was because they found her at some sort of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">picadero</i>, a place where junkies drop and
pinch their shit in (whatever it is). Aside from finding her there it turned
out she had ripped a little bit of her face (I confirmed this by chance when I found
her randomly on the street), this was part of the high and drop down from the
crack.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;">Los días pasan rápido y sigo
conociendo cosas nuevas, sigo observando como la ciudad cambia y se mueve al
ritmo del mundo, como culturas chocan y “negrito” baila en el mercado de la
Villa, vendiendo café y juntando dinero para traer a su mama desde Haití; en el
centro las caras cambian, ya no es tener dos cervezas por un dólar, mares de
gente pasando por toda la calle Revolución, bares abiertos las veinticuatro
horas todos los días, bares en decadencia que incluso después de cobrar nueva
vida con la calle sexta, la Plaza muere y revive en un lapso de diez años,
nuevos turistas “inteligentes” nos visitan, no compran nada, toman fotos, no
hablan ningún idioma de este continente pero aun así los vemos por las calles, la
gentrificación cada vez mas obvia, la vieja Tijuana sigue y sigue muriendo,
cada vez mas lejana a todos los que la conocieron, la ciudad global y moderna
crece pero ahora lo hace mas hacia arriba que a los lados, lo obvio se ha
vuelto más obvio después de tantos años de crecimiento sin control, si buscas
con suficiente cuidado en las calles y en la gente podrás encontrar todos sus
secretos, en el mundo están los pedazos de lo que fue alguna vez y que unidos son
como la arena de playa, y cuando mas les duele recordar es cuando menos cosas
quedan porque:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">When playing TCGs some… maybe 15 years ago (around 2001/2002?) I remember this tendency of throwing cards at the table, not throwing them off the table but rather on the table itself, to represent anger or frustration with your opponent's action, we even made fun of it by getting a random card from the opponent or anyone and doing the same thing, that slap it produced (when inside the plastic foils) is priceless but it would wear it down and then you needed new foils, so someone came up with an idea (I think it was Edgar but simply because he could, not because we needed it).<br /><br />Enter the Slap Card<br /><br />The slap card was a random card, any trash card would do, which would be wrapped in black electric tape until it was completely covered. Once this was done you could maybe go for a second round and then there it was, a slap card. It sounds stupid enough to try and do it, watch the video and you will understand why.</span></div>

<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;">Dice Marx que "todo lo solido se
desvanece en el aire", al menos esto lo cita Marshall Berman y lo usa para
su libro del mismo nombre. Sospecho que esto se lo robo o adjudico de un
concepto más antiguo del "todo lo que es arriba es abajo", creo que
es más fácil explicarlo con los símbolos:</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;">En la alquimia queda marcado que el corte
queda más arriba, tiene sentido para formar un hexagrama, pero considerando la situación
es más bien una división del flujo de energía/materia de un modo a otro, lo
solido eventualmente se vuelve inmaterial pero no puede ser ambos al mismo
tiempo, tiene que estar cortado en algún punto, aunque a nivel micro sea
irrelevante es su estado que capta los sentidos lo que nos concierne.</span><span lang="ES-MX"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX" style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;">Dentro de lo anterior debemos preguntarnos algo muy importante: ¿Que tan limitados nos tiene el todo (circulo) dentro del campo de lo solido y lo inmaterial?</span></div>

"Ningún hombre puede cruzar el mismo río dos veces, porque ni el hombre ni el agua serán los mismos." - Heráclito el Oscuro<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Perdido en un enorme bosque se encontraba sentada una figura sobre una piedra plana larga donde cabía perfectamente, cruzado de piernas, con los ojos cerrados, las manos descansando suavemente entre sus piernas y sosteniendo la una a la otra como si esperara algo, la espalda recargada en un gigantesco árbol del cual no se podía distinguir bien donde terminaba la copa y que le cubría con suficiente sombra para el resto del día, este le aportaba un beneficio adicional, tenia un campo de visión completa de sus alrededores y suficiente luz para distinguir lo que se aproximara.<br />
<br />
En aquel hermoso silencio lo único que podía escuchar esa su respiración y, si se concentraba lo suficiente, el latir de su corazón, fue de sorpresa cuando el silencio fue quebrantado por el movimiento de agua, Siddharta, aun recargado en el árbol y sentado en la piedra, abrió los ojos lentamente para examinar con detalle en lago y captar rápidamente el pétalo de una rosa que navegaba por la superficie, pequeñas olas avanzaban lenta pero marcadamente desde el centro de esta y se perdían cada vez que una nueva nacía.<br />
<br />
No desespera, cierra los ojos y se deja llevar, escucha con detenimiento el cambio que se suscita e inhala lentamente, absorbe el cambio que destruye el orden viejo del lago y en si mismo, acepta sin resistir el cambio que se ha creado y en cuanto escucha parar las ondas exhala para dejar salir todo aquello que alguna vez fue el y que ya no es mas.</div>

<span lang="ES-MX">Encontré la cabeza de un <i>palombo</i> fuera del trabajo, porque encontraría
esa cabeza deliberadamente arrancada de su cuerpo ahí, fueron acaso sus amigos <i>palombos</i> que le dieron fin, fue acaso un
gato que tenía hambre o algún cínico que la arranco de su cuerpo por diversión.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX">Por qué la cabeza estaba ahí tirada
en el piso, mirándome con su ojo izquierdo fijamente, la boca cerrada como si
hubiera esperado su fin, silenciosamente como ahora quedaba, la tráquea
descansando ligeramente debajo de la cabeza.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="ES-MX"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-MX">No la moví, no le di una patada,
tampoco hice nada al respecto, la deje ahí como tributo a la tierra, o asfalto porque
tierra es raro encontrar en la ciudad hoy en día con los proyectos de construcción
de edificios de viviendas que se lleva a cabo en la ciudad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="ES-MX">El vacío en su ojo me recuerda al vacío
que tiene en vida, no parece cambiar nada con su muerte, abandonada en un callejón
entre edificios y un restaurante, hasta que alguien se deshaga de ella.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

pendeja cara con su burla obscena y cerda que no puedo borrar, no
puedo dormir, gritar, pensar ni mucho menos operar en cualquier
sentido, estoy harto del color en el que vivo, un gris embarrado de
sepia que no ayuda a dar un paso más en la vida hacia ningún lado
(para aquellos que creen que incluso un paso hacia atrás es bueno
les digo que –ni eso va a pasar cuando tienes un punto medio de ese
calibre-). Si sabes de lo que hablo entonces entiendes por qué la
mandíbula se atora con la presión, los dientes quieren tronar, la
lengua se atora en espirales extrañas que cobran vida, el silencio
muere con cada parpadeo y solo una explosión puede poner un alto a

<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; direction: ltr; line-height: 120%; text-align: left; }</style>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sixty
Two days after </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I
escaped that hell hole</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">.
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Civilization
has begun to crumble</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">.
I don't care if I see survivors. Only I matter. I was dead to the
world before it ended, now that the world is dead </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">and
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I
am alive. My name is Maul Asik and I am reborn again.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 107%; margin-bottom: 0.11in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The
converted mail van went down the highway with Maul pushing the pedal
to the metal. Where was he going, at this point he didn’t know nor
care but he wasn’t stopping, unless something or someone would
allow him to remain safer he would skip and skip again.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It
had been probably some six months since the world had ended, Maul at
this point wasn’t sure anymore but he wasn’t keeping tabs with
time anymore, not after all the time that had been stolen from him in
prison. Yes, he was a criminal and yes, he deserved to go to jail, he
deserved to be treated as a human being too but someone forgot this
at some point in the checklist, </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>fucking
animals</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">,
that’s all he could think about when the memories came back to him,
the beatings, the solitary confinement, the in-fighting, </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>at
least now I have the upper hand</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">,
was the next thought that filled in the gap, he had looted the prison
armory and the three police stations in the nearby area, some gun
shops had better surplus than what he had originally obtained from
the police stations and it made him laugh, </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>paranoid
people bless your dead rotten heart, </i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">and
when looking to make his best loot at the army base he found remnants
still around so he </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>really</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
had to skip on that even though he wanted to get his hands on one of
those beautiful tanks or an APC at least.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">To
his amazement there were also civilians or </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>the
broken</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">,
as he was now fond of calling them, and while they presented an
organized threat they were slowly falling apart, conditions were not
optimal to keep enough crops to feed people, few knew how to take
care of the fields, good water was scarce as far as he had seen,
moving to better terrains was a death trap and a logistical
nightmare, </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>better
on my own</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">,
is what always came to mind when he thought about it, </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>no
better than fucking savages</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">On
the distance Maul saw an old gas station and pondered the situation,
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>I
could </i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">skip</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>
this one but a little extra on the side won’t hurt for future
trading</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">.
The van slowly stopped in front of one of the gas pumps and Maul
stepped out of the truck, he had his orange bodysuit from prison,
number 5</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">521</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">60335542,
gas mask hanging from his neck, a generic black Kevlar vest, a
holster on his right hip with a semi-automatic pistol Garibaldi .45
inside, a Galt Mk I</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
SMG strapped to his left shoulder; he took a pair of empty jerrycans
leaving them next to the pump then proceeding inside the convenience
store with sub-machine gun in hand.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">As
soon as he stepped in he could hear some sort of machinery working, a
dim light on the back where a fridge stood, the shelves were empty
but he had the feeling this was a recent thing, a few more steps
inside and he knew this was as far as he was going until the content
of the refrigerator got his attention, </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>water,
shit</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">.
It rushed through his head to just go for the water and forget about
the gasoline, no, this was probably a trap, he was going to really
get it this time, </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>fuck
it</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">.
He rushed back to the van for a backpack then into the store again to
fill it up with as many bottles as he could, half-way through he
heard the cracking sound of a gun being cocked.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">"I’m
assuming you are paying with cash" Said a voice to his right,
Maul turned rapidly to his right and saw an old man behind the
counter, probably around fifty years of age, almost bald, thick
jacket, shotgun pointed firmly towards him, on the corner of his
right eye he could see another person holding a revolver almost at
head level. “So, what will it be, make it quick boy or I’ll just
splatter your ass on the floor”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">"Old
man the world is dead, no point on keeping it all for yourself"
Replied Maul with a thick guttural accent, almost as if he was
singing.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Son,
I don’t care if the world is gone or not, you pay for the water or
you get a couple of buckshots up your ass” Replied the old man, no
one was moving, Maul even tried not to blink at this point.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">"The
world is dead old man and so are you" Said Maul with his finger
slowly pulling the trigger to make it go into full action.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">"You
wish" Said the old man, he fired first but his shot was slightly
off to the left and hit one of the racks, the shot from the revolver
hit so close to him that he felt the heat from the bullet just on
front of his face, his finger pulled hard on the trigger spraying
from left to right onto the counter and the entrance, he pulled back
quickly once he felt the click from the sub-machine gun and switched
magazines as a bullet crossed the shelves behind him with deadly
precision although not hitting him directly. "Come out you
little shit!"</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>How
the fuck did he do that</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">,
thought Maul as he quickly examined his surroundings and noticed a
set of mirrors on the top of the refrigerator area, another shot came
down his way this time closer to him, not taking any chances he took
pot shots at the mirrors above him while covering from the falling
glass.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">You
spoiled brat, those cost a fortune!” Yelled the old man angrily as
he released another shot in the general area of Maul who in turn was
already moving with care, avoiding glass in order to not make any
noise, as he was turning he felt the bullet before he heard it, it
crossed through the top of his right shoulder, he acted fast but the
jolt from the impact forced his sub-machine gun to rip the remaining
bullets through the general direction, he managed to change magazines
again and heard some faint sobbing coming from a shelf or two in
front of him.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Old
man, time out” Said Maul as he walked to the next shelf and taking
cover on the back, he examined the next shelf could barely notice a
tennis shoe showing slightly from the side, it twitched slightly with
what Maul assumed was every breath, the sobbing had stopped but
assumed it was the same person. “Old man talk to me, I’m not
fucking around here and I will shot whoever it is if you don’t give
me an answer back in three seconds”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Calm
down you little turd” The voice was somewhat closer, Maul assumed
the old man was moving towards the figure so he rapidly crossed to
the next shelf and peeked through the corner, he saw a woman,
probably in her late teens, she had three bullet shots on her right
leg and was applying as much pressure as possible but evidently that
wasn’t working too well for her, she looked pale, tears running in
a non-stop line down her cheeks, having small spasms as she tried
controlling her breathing and sobbing, lips twitching fast, eyes
constantly gazing at her wounds, the blood covering almost all of the
right side of her jeans.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">You
are an absolute piece of shit, sending your granddaughter to do your
own shit” The teenager immediately turned to her right, Maul had
placed the end of the barrel as close as possible to her head, her
left hand instinctively reaching for her revolver. “If you raise
that thing I will shoot you, I am not kidding”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I
am not his grandfather and who are you calling a piece of shit, you
wanted to rob me” Asked the old man who was at the other end of the
hallway probably taking cover for all Maul knew at this point.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Your
daughter, niece, whatever, had you let me go with the water none of
this would be happening right now” Maul slowly examined the wounds
and noticed she was still bleeding, this reminded him of his own
wound but a quick checkup gave him good sign on his shoulder although
the pain was probably going to hit him hard after the adrenaline was
gone. “She’s bleeding badly, man”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">She’s
not my family and I already know that, you flushed that thing down on
her” Maul found it curious that the old man was trying to take care
of someone that wasn’t her family, what an alien concept to
consider right now of all times. “Look, just get out of here and
we’ll call it even”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Can’t
do chief, I’m not going out empty handed, I want the water and the
gas plus everything else that’s useful in this store”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Unbelievable,
you are worse than the fucking military or the nomads, whatever
happened to loving your neighbor and helping in times of need,
Christ”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Homo
homini lupus est</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">”
Replied Maul as he checked the other side of the shelf, his
suspicions confirmed that the old man was trying to go around him
when he could see the edge of his jacket on the next shelf on the
other end of the hallway. “You know what I mean?”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cut
me a fucking break, now you speak Latin, what a world to live in, of
all places I find a guy trying to rob and kill me that tells me
proverbs in Latin at the very end of the world, the odds I tell you
what” Maul was seeking silence, he knew the old man was not as
nimble or fast moving as him, he knew that he had to act fast as soon
as he slipped, he needed patience, </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>patience,
haven’t I learned to have a world of patience now after so long</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">;
Maul looked at the teenager who in turn looked back at him enraged,
her right hand still holding tight to the largest wound while her
left hand floated on top of the revolver, twitching, just waiting for
that right moment.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Crack.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Maul
let loose on the shelf on a general direction, he sprayed from right
to left at what he thought would be hip level, as soon as he heard
the click he moved the weapon to his side and took out his sidearm
with which he advanced quickly towards the refrigerator area, there
he found the man laying against one of the refrigerators, glass
broken over him from the </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">refrigerator</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
doors, a small pool of blood forming below him, he wasn't sure how
badly wounded the old man was until he noticed a bullet hole on the
side of his head, Maul figured that he had probably crouched in order
to avoid his bullets, </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>fucking
irony</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">,
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">he
holstered his handgun with peace of mind.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Maul
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">immediately</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">
grabbed the shotgun </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">and
pumped it, no shell came flying out, </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>he
was going to bluff it, that man had balls</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">,
and with that he had some </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">pity</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">
on him, going all the way to risk it for someone who wasn't even his
family, </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">no
matter how young the person it was foolish in his eyes, what a true
waste. Maul </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">went
for his backpack and finished filling it with as many water bottles
as he could, back to the van to drop his loot including the shotgun
and back for whatever was left, as he went in for the second time he
heard sobbing again, </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>how
the fuck is she alive</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">,
Maul walked toward the sound and found the teenager trying to raise
the revolver at head level with her left hand, shaking and probably
unable to lift that much weight at this point Maul walked towards
her.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Hey,
kid” The eyes of the teenager slowly turned to him, rage still
filled them but there was also disappointment, lose of hope, he knew
that feeling too well from his time in that hole. “How do you work
the pump or is there even any gas left here?”</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Maul
wasn't waiting for a reply, he didn't get it anyway, he took the
revolver with ease and stashed it on an empty holster he carried with
him for such occasions.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
“<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">I
could give you the benefit of blowing your brains out, kid, but I
could always use that extra bullet, you're dead anyway” The words
came out with such ease, he smiled perversely not because he felt joy
in what he was doing or what had happened, he felt a natural smile
because this is how life was turning out to be.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Maul
did not take much time to look around for loot, he took the extra
water, an incomplete first aid kit and a box of .44 bullets that
would go well with his new acquisition, the jerrycans back without
any extra gasoline since he did not have the time to figure out how
to work out the system, a small gasoline can on the back of the store
next to the still working electrical engine worked as some additional
decent loot, aside from that nothing else left, the van roared as he
turned the engine on and before leaving he thought about the
situation, </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>shit,
I can't leave this like that</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">He
turned the engine off, got off the truck and into the store, he heard
a gasp coming from the back of the shelves but he ignored it, he
simply started piling up some of the trash he had found on the store
and with a lighter lit it up then dropped some of the flaming trash
on the shelves, the counter, the back of the store, he made sure
everything started burning up before getting back into the van and
into the road, no need to leave any sort of valuable behind.</span></span></span></div>

Oh brother, it vexes me to have lost you in such immense nothingness<br />
where my spear means nothing for it has not your eyes, heart or soul<br />
oh the pain to tell father that there is no one to watch my back<br />
on these cold dead nights, when the starts grow bright my fondness slumbers<br />
for there is no brighter, stronger love than yours<br />
for darker blankets and small bonfires, tales of wonder of years past our age<br />
and fortunes calling our names, but aghast I lay with your mouth lost<br />
to my ears, no foul play and no early retirement, just your name amiss<br />
from these times of wonder.
<br />

La escalera es mas largo de lo necesario, es una escalera de tubos vieja, oxidada, sin ninguna clase de pintura visible, vibraba y se movía ya casi llegando a la cima del edificio de un lado a otro, de no ser por la reja de protección de medio tubo era probable que Miguel y varios de los que se atrevían a subir ya hubiera caído a su muerte mucho tiempo atrás.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No había otra manera de subir o bajar, ni existía otra manera de acceder al edificio, era uno de los pocos que quedaba de pie casi intactos, daba un buen campo visual a lo que quedaba de la ciudad, de aquellos monstruosos edificios que de tiempo en tiempo se derrumban y la gente corre avariciosamente a saquear de todo el acero que pueden.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Llegando al tope del edificio recibió la bienvenida del portero, Otto, le decían, un hombre no muy musculoso pero con suficientes cicatrices para probar que no era cualquier hijo de puta con suerte, tenia las habilidades para sobrevivir y si fuera un poco mas inteligente también las tendría para manejar su destino, dependía, al igual que todos en el área, del intercambio en el Nodo, ahí donde se reunían todos a tomar algo que "todavía apendeje y no mate tanto o que si me mata sea mas rápido que un balazo", donde todavía se podían obtener algunos objetos en buen estado de los tiempos antes del cataclismo y donde de vez en cuando aparecían algunas cosas que cambiaban la suerte del que la tuviera, en el Nodo se podía cambiar todo por todo de igual manera y si la mente es suficientemente abierta y la moral escueta se podían pedir las mas asquerosas y pervertidas fantasías que todavía se pudieran realizar después del fin del mundo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-¿Que llevas? Pregunto Otto con aquella miraba inquisitiva que le daba a todo mundo al entrar, de brazos cruzados, la piel de su chamarra tronaba y las pisadas de las botas hacían un eco pesado.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

-Cosas para el intercambio. Que mas voy a llevar pendejo, pensó Miguel instintivamente y lo vio venir, un putazo que le saco el aire y lo poco que había comido en el día, la cabeza le daba vueltas, miraba destellos y puntos blancos y grises cruzando lentamente por su visión, los ojos llorosos, el estomago sumido, las piernas débiles y la garganta ardiendo, venas brincando de la frente y el cuello, hincado, usando la mano derecha para no caerse, sosteniendo su cuerpo, la mano izquierda cubriendo su estomago.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Ahí te encargo el debido respeto, camarada. Si, también podía leer la mente, era uno de los raros que había nacido con el fin del mundo, algunos dicen que antes del fin ya existían pero que eran mucho mas raros que en estos tiempos, sea cual fuera el punto lo podía hacer y no había manera que nadie se pudiera defender de eso, especialmente cuando la privacidad mental era algo que todos daban por hecho.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Si, como no. Respondió Miguel entre dientes, minutos después logro componerse, todavía con el dolor en la garganta, el estomago y el orgullo, paso rápidamente hacia la puerta de metal donde toco tres veces, una ranura casi a la altura de los ojos de Miguel se abrió, no se observaba nada del otro lado, oscuridad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-¿Quien va? Pregunto una voz que sonaba ridícula, era suave pero quien fuera que hablara trataba de hacer que sonara mas profunda, forzandola mas alla de su tono habitual.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Miguel. Respondió de manera cortante Miguel, aquí se iba a quedar una media hora si no apuraba a la persona.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-¿De donde viene? Pregunto nuevamente la voz, esta se había tardado mas o menos un minuto en responder, Miguel sabia que estaba leyendo de algún lado y le cansaba tener que esperar todo el proceso para entrar, especialmente después de lo que le había pasado.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-De afuera, no mamen ya dejen pasar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Esa no es la-- Miguel le dio una patada a la puerta lo cual provoco un suspiro largo de la persona que estuviera adentro, Otto avanzo rápidamente contra Miguel pero este rápidamente saco un revolver que apunto a Otto.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Calmado, cabrón. Dijo Miguel a Otto, quien simplemente se quedo parado, el ojo izquierdo entre cerrado, parecía masticar algo, se lamia los labios y los dientes lentamente de derecha a izquierda y hacia algunos gestos como si fuera un simio, algunos ridículos, otros intimidaban, Miguel también había aprendido a mantener la mente en limpio en cualquier situación critica, esa había sido la herencia indirecta de las historias y encuentros que había tenido con Otto.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Déjenlo pasar ya. Grito Otto, de la puerta se escucho metal chillando horriblemente, se abrió de golpe y una mujer portando un hacha y armadura hecha de placas de automóviles camino hacia Miguel quien fue tomado por sorpresa, su primera reacción fue cambiar de blanco pero decidió continuar apuntando a Otto por que en la jerarquía era el mas alto, era el que mas dolería su perdida y se se iba al menos quería hacer un desmadre para los que queden vivos, pensaba.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Amanda, cero pedos. Otto le apunto a Amanda quien bajo el hacha lentamente, se movió a un lado de la puerta y dejo pasar a Miguel, Amanda era una figura de un metro y medio de alto, no tenia mucho musculo pero tampoco le costaba moverse con la armadura o blandir el hacha, otra que llevaba años de experiencia en lo que hacia y con quien no queria enfrentarse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Gracias mija. Miguel le lanzo a Amanda un beso y esta le miro con ojos de navaja, rápidamente alzo su hacha aunque ya para cuando se ponía en posición Miguel ya se había escapado en la oscuridad del pasillo, de paso le había dado un golpe a quien fuera que lo estuvo deteniendo con las estúpidas preguntas, tenia prisa, no faltaba mucho para que Abel se fuera.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Al final de aquel pasillo vio la luz, el Nodo era parte de una vieja nave industrial que fue adaptada con el tiempo por los que pasaron por ahí, la leyenda contaba que los trabajadores originales habían dado forma a lo que ahora era pero ninguno de ellos seguía vivo para confirmar. Viejos hornos industriales y las chimeneas daban lugar a conversaciones, encuentros y peleas, era el único lugar donde era seguro prender algo sin que el lugar se quemara por completo, especialmente con toda la basura que tiraban a las llamas que a veces creaban ligeras explosiones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Una vieja barra de madera traída de algún bar fue adaptada para servir también como un lobby de bienvenida a nuevos visitantes o mercaderes, las reglas eran sencillas, todas las peleas se resolvían sin armas, podían ser a muerte y eso se resolvía en el ring de concreto.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
La mercancía se intercambiaba en el almacén, las rentas de mesas o zonas para venta era dependiendo del espacio que se necesitara y la cantidad de objetos en venta, podía ser relativamente barato si lo que estaba en venta era necesario o de lo contrario deberían dejar buena parte de su mercancía o toda la mercancía, algunos mercaderes yacían muertos en alguna parte del Nodo y nadie se había tomado la molestia de enterrarlos, eran un recordatorio para todos en general de que la administración era dura y no se tentaba el corazón.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Miguel paso la barra, paso varios hornos, los mercaderes, llego con Abel, en el horno A7, poca luz, poca gente, lo reconoció de inmediato Abel y se paro rápidamente dando unos brinquitos, se inclino al frente para dar varias palmadas a un cojín que tenia sobre una caja de madera para conversar frente a frente, emocionado una vez que Miguel tomo asiento este le ofreció una copa de algo que no era necesariamente alcohol pero que tenia el mismo efecto.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Bueno mijo dime, me tienes todo emocionado pues. Le dijo Abel con aquella voz ligeramente chillona y sensual, se comía las letras de pronto y hablaba barrido de pronto, el mismo se perdía en la emoción de sus palabras, la luz tenue hacia resaltar la falta de cabello en su cabeza o en el rostro, estaba ligeramente maquillado, las cejas inexistentes, unos tubos salían de su cuello y se insertaban en sus brazos, su ropa era una vieja camisa de un color que había llegado a ser un rojo tenue pero probablemente había sido un rojo mucho mas oscuro, unos pantalones cortados a nivel de la rodilla y botas que compensaban la falta de tela para cubrir el resto de sus piernas y pies -Me dijeron que te habían metido unos chingadazos allá afuera, mi pobre chiquillo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
El querer acariciar Abel a Miguel este se hizo ligeramente hacia atrás, Abel sonrió de oreja a oreja y alzo ambos ojos mientras suspiraba.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Tengo lo que me pediste. Miguel tomo de su mochila una caja negra con dos seguros que abrían con una numeración de tres dígitos cada uno, Abel dejo su vaso rápidamente de lado y tomo la caja, paso sus manos lentamente por el borde hasta llegar a los números.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Cual es la clave? Pregunto Abel emocionado, Miguel saco un pedazo de papel del bolsillo derecho de su pantalón y leyó en voz baja.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Seguro izquierdo, nueve siete tres, seguro derecho, seis uno seis. Abel rápidamente acomodo las ruedas en los números. indicados y libero los seguros, abrió parcialmente la caja para observar su contenido y con una enorme sonrisa y ojos que salían de su órbita asintió rápidamente.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Muy bien chiquillo, muy bien, así me gusta. Abel cerro lentamente la caja, una sonrisa juguetona en su rostro, dejo de lado la caja y cruzo las piernas, manos descansando en la rodilla derecha, inclinado hacia el frente. -¿Que vamos a querer?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Lo de siempre, pero que estas vez valga la pena. Respondió Miguel, Abel movió la cabeza de un lado a otro mientras hacia bailar sus ojos en elipse de izquierda a derecha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Hmm, siempre vale la pena. Abel puso su dedo indice derecho debajo de su nariz, en medio, se quedo así por un momento y camino hacia la mesa donde tenia la botella del liquido que le había servido a Miguel, de ahí tomo capsulas transparentes con un liquido viscoso de color oscuro.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Lo mejor para mi niño bien portado. Abel le entrego las capsulas a Miguel quien de inmediato las guardo, se arrepintió ya que había guardado las capsulas y tomo una de vuelta, de su mochila saco una pistola con una ranura circular, la capsula entro rápidamente y Miguel la puso en la parte derecha de su cuello, sobre la vena, jalo el gatillo y ahí recibió la descarga de nano-maquinas que le mantenían con vida del cáncer que no lo dejaba ni lo dejaría, las nano-maquinas no estaban diseñadas para durar lo suficiente, vivía como rehén de lo que Abel le pudiera entregar y si es que le podía entregar en el momento.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Miguel cerro los ojos y se perdió en la oscuridad rápidamente en la oscuridad, una noche mas sin aquel dolor que difícilmente le dejaba vivir.</div>
