POR POCO

Primer Lugar 2002

"Una mujer me miró a través de la vitrina en un centro comercial. Y bien, en su mirada me vi con tres hijos, un perro en el patio, el miedo a perder el trabajo, los préstamos interminables, y unos atardeceres de domingo eternos y lánguidos en casa de sus padres. Sentí el peso de las mañanas iguales, de las tardes iguales, de las noches repetidas, de los iguales reproches. Rápidamente desvié la mirada, apuré el tranco y salí a la calle. Había sobrevivido a uno de esos segundos fatales con que la ciudad suele sellar el destino de los hombres."

SO CLOSE

First Place 2002

A woman looked at me through the glass case at the mall. Well, in his eyes I saw three kids, a dog in the yard, fear of job loss, the endless loans, and about sunsets timeless and languid Sunday at home with their parents. I felt the weight of the same morning, the same afternoon, repeated nights of the same criticisms. He quickly looked away, I hurried up the pace and went outside. He had survived one of those fatal seconds with the city usually seal the fate of men.

The final story I had to illustrate was "Graveyard"

CEMENTERIO

Premio al Talento Joven 2014

Vivía en una casa chubi, ahí cerca de avenida Grecia. Era de esos cabros a los que les gusta aparentar. Su pieza era pequeña, con una puerta demasiado grande en comparación con el interior, tan pequeña que el humo de los cigarros se pegaba a los pliegues de la agrietada pared y no te permitía poner un pie adentro sin romper en un llanto amargo y concentrado. Tenía una polera de los Smiths, pero en su viejo tocadiscos siempre sonaba Soda Stereo. Estaba completamente solo y no tenía dinero para comprar armas. Se llamaba Tomás. Ya no quería llorar.

GRAVEYARD

Award for Young Talent 2014

He lived in a chubi house, near Avenue Grecia. It was one of those guys who like to pretend. His room was small with too large compared to the door inside, so small that the cigarette smoke clung to the folds of the cracked wall and do not allowed to set foot inside without breaking into bitter tears and concentrated. He had a shirt of the Smiths, but in his old record player always sounded Soda Stereo. I was all alone and had no money to buy weapons. His name was Tomás. No longer wanted to mourn.
