- 0:05The story I' m going to tell you. I hope I don'
- 0:08t disturb you a little bit by the subject that on board is that ever
- 0:12since I was little, I had an interest in knowing a little more about
- 0:16the death after life and so many other questions that I think we all ask
- 0:21ourselves at some point in our existence. I remember my parents occasionally taking me
- 0:26to the cemetery for the death of a close relative. I saw people crying
- 0:30quietly, others shouting loudly at the same time as they cried heartbreakingly. I
- 0:38even had to witness that someone fainted by then was about eight years old.
- 0:44I was stuck in my mom' s dress, because from that place I
- 0:49felt safe to observe every manifestation of pain of family members who had had their
- 0:54loss at that time. I didn' t understand how difficult it is to
- 0:59lose a loved one forever. I also remember that there were other funerals where
- 1:03the mourners began to pray the rosary before burying their loved one in a quiet
- 1:07way, with a silent cry. However, sadness was breathed all around.
- 1:15I don' t know why. I watched trying to understand each person'
- 1:19s pain, but because of my age it was complicated. There was one
- 1:23time we went to the funeral of a close friend of my father' s.
- 1:26I didn' t have a bond with that person. Maybe that'
- 1:30s why I didn' t stop to see those present. It caught my
- 1:34attention. A small bone that was on the ground. I picked it up
- 1:38and watched it carefully I walked a little further and began to find more bones
- 1:44everywhere careless as if someone had only thrown them out without any interest. At
- 1:51the time, my aunt noticed that I was moving away and she went after
- 1:55me. She told me not to pick up any bones. It was not
- 1:59good to take what you lost to the pantheon into our homes, because then
- 2:04we took everything that surrounds the death of your space and can be opened by
- 2:07such that we would not like to know. I didn' t quite understand
- 2:12what my aunt was saying to me. What was achieved was to give me
- 2:15a little fear and I pulled out of my pocket the bone that was already
- 2:17carrying me. I threw it into the sand and left it there. When
- 2:23my aunt saw that I already had a bone with me, she told me
- 2:27that apparently, that bone was from a child the size of it. I
- 2:30asked him why if the dead man was put in a drawer and buried,
- 2:35how the bones were everywhere. My aunt didn' t want to tell me
- 2:43the real reason why those bones were in the place that didn' t belong
- 2:47to them in time. I understood. The curiosity I maintained in my childhood
- 2:52about death did not end up as it was. I grew up. When
- 2:55I went to a funeral. I continued with my inclination. One of the
- 3:00things that impressed me was the different smell from the common one. I have
- 3:04always believed that it is the smell of death, because since I entered a
- 3:07wake- up room immediately, I sensed the strange scent as if at that
- 3:13moment I was circling that being who gives permission to the deceased to see his
- 3:17loved ones for the last time and then take them somewhere. I want to
- 3:23clarify that the intention to observe the funeral rites, as well as the close
- 3:28relatives of the deceased, is not with a bad intention or to render a
- 3:31judgment of value, but was different my interest, rather to try to understand
- 3:37all those mysteries that we do not know about death and everything that revolves around
- 3:42it. The point is that I was also struck by going to cemeteries elsewhere.
- 3:47It' s not that I went specifically to that, but when I
- 3:53went on vacation to a place other than my city, I gave myself a
- 3:57getaway to get to know the pantheon of that new place, because I think
- 4:00that, in some way, each cemetery shows the culture and traditions of each
- 4:04population. On one occasion, when she was studying at the University, the
- 4:10teacher of language subjects told us that it was necessary to do research through observation.
- 4:15For this we divide into teams of three people. He made roles with
- 4:19different parts of the city so that we could analyze the way people express themselves
- 4:26in a boat put the destinations to which we would go to carry out our
- 4:30task. There were teams that had to go to one other bar to the
- 4:33cinema, to different destinations. The funny thing is that our team had to
- 4:39go to the pantheon, the closest one was Mezquitan' s. My other
- 4:44two companions didn' t like going to that place. In contrast, we
- 4:47walk toward the place perhaps by the hour. The cemetery was desolate. It
- 4:54was past five in the afternoon, so there was no burial service. Only
- 5:00in the distance did we hear as a murmur that a group of people prayed
- 5:04the rosary. At the main entrance of the cemetery are the tombs of important
- 5:10people of Guadalajara. The Holy Field is divided into sections. At the beginning
- 5:15there were also parts intended for foreigners, such as the section dedicated to the
- 5:20Germans. Similarly, I also found very old buildings that were like small houses
- 5:28whose facade was according to another era. The inscriptions on the tombstones were from
- 5:32many years ago. As in any cemetery there were graves highly cared for,
- 5:40others forgotten, some cement slabs corresponding to the top. The sinister thing was
- 5:46that one could see the dark and deep of a tomb. We continued with
- 5:50the observation part until what I knew the site was ancient. However, he
- 5:56had never entered it. Every day I went to college I saw him from
- 6:00the outside. As we get into it. I realized that this was divided
- 6:05into two parts. It was necessary to open an important avenue of the city.
- 6:12Then there was the second section. At the end of it I found
- 6:16a leafy tree that provided a spectacular shade around it. Several benches arranged in
- 6:24the form of a circle. After the long walk we sat on one of
- 6:28the benches to observe for a few minutes, but it was impossible to hear
- 6:32the talk of people. It was already a place where the disappointed dead live.
- 6:39We retired, but I felt trapped by the place. I decided I
- 6:43was going back to be alone under that shade of the tree. That'
- 6:46s how I started making a habit of being in this space. At first
- 6:51I only came a day or two later I did it every time I attended
- 6:57classes. I was trying to leave about two hours earlier since my class.
- 7:00When the time came, I was walking to college. By the time the
- 7:05holidays arrived, I took my notebook and pen to do my writing from there.
- 7:12Since it is a cemetery that no longer has room for new tombs.
- 7:15On very few occasions there was burial only when some family member is owner and
- 7:21has room for his deceased. So most of the time it was a quiet
- 7:25and quiet place, which allowed me to perform my activity without the slightest distraction.
- 7:31On one occasion I was immersed in reading a book and listened to the
- 7:36movement of dried herbs. I turned back and found no one. Again I
- 7:43went back to my reading, but another noise pulled me out of my concentration.
- 7:46It was like someone was hiding watching. I stayed under the protection of
- 7:53the tree for a few minutes. I decided to retire. The place was
- 7:56very lonely. It was possible that some thug had seen me for days and
- 8:01was lurking away at a rapid pace. I didn' t find anyone until
- 8:07I crossed the avenue that divides the cemetery. There you will find the locals
- 8:13with flowers. I entered the first section of the pantheon. I turned around
- 8:16to see if anyone was following me, but I didn' t see anyone.
- 8:20The cemetery watchman already knew me, so seeing my hurry he asked me
- 8:24what was happening to me. I told him I heard noises from someone hiding.
- 8:31He told me that it was not the right place to do homework,
- 8:35that sometimes in the early morning he also hears many noises. The man was
- 8:39trying to tell me that maybe I' d been scared by something unexplainable.
- 8:45However, I was more afraid of a thief or someone who wanted to hurt
- 8:48me. I lasted several days without going to the pantheon, but again I
- 8:54needed the silence and tranquility of that space. I came back with my books,
- 9:00without my notebooks. After a while, I began to feel observed.
- 9:03I was looking around and I couldn' t find anyone. Later I heard
- 9:09a noise a little far from me, but this time I saw a young
- 9:13man watching me from a distance. I didn' t know if to run
- 9:16away from the place or wait for him to approach me and know why he
- 9:20was watching me. I didn' t resist anymore, so I got up
- 9:24to retire from the place. I decided it wasn' t convenient to keep
- 9:30going I went away for a few weeks. One day, however, I
- 9:33decided to return again. For several days nothing strange happened until one day I
- 9:39heard someone' s footsteps behind me, I got up scared ready to run.
- 9:45The young man told me not to be afraid, he wasn' t
- 9:48going to hurt me, but I doubted it. I left the place in
- 9:50a hurry. After several days I returned, but this time I had the
- 9:56caution to stay on the bench of the main entrance. No or no r
- 9:58There were a lot of people, but the watchman was always nearby. She
- 10:03was immersed in a book. Suddenly I realized that someone sat on the same
- 10:07bench. He was the same guy the other day. He probably saw the
- 10:13fear in my face. He told me not to leave, he just wanted
- 10:16to talk to me. He was also in the cemetery every day. In
- 10:22the distance I saw the watchman and a group of people. I calmed down
- 10:24a bit and the young man started talking. Little by little I lost my
- 10:30fear, I began to feel a little confidence and security. Somehow I sensed
- 10:35that he didn' t want to hurt me. He told me he was
- 10:39curious. It wasn' t the first time I saw myself in that place.
- 10:43At first he thought he was there because some close relative had just died
- 10:48and all he was trying to do was stay close to him. But then
- 10:50he saw that I never went to any graves. The only reason I was
- 10:54there was to read and write very unusual actions in a cemetery. He convinced
- 11:01me with his argument. I asked him what he was doing there, just
- 11:05as his name told me his name was Mario. He also explained to me
- 11:09that he often went to this place for two reasons. The first was that
- 11:13he was very close to home. The second because her mother had recently died,
- 11:18so she went every day to visit her and keep her tomb with many
- 11:22flowers. I wasn' t used to praying, but I did talk to
- 11:28her. From that moment on we became great friends. Whenever I came to
- 11:33the part where the leafy tree was, he was already there. There were
- 11:39times when I was leaving earlier than usual, but he always beat me to
- 11:43get to the bench. There he was waiting for me. Sometimes we didn
- 11:48' t even talk, we just read. That' s why I brought
- 11:52him one of my books. When I was done one would tell me which
- 11:56one. He was interested in someone else. Other times I wrote while he
- 12:00wandered through the graves. He was very private. She didn' t tell
- 12:03me anything about her life, which made me curious, because she was noticed
- 12:07to be Mexican, had a certain foreign ancestry. One day he was willing
- 12:13to talk. I don' t know what happened to him, but he
- 12:18had a need to do it. He started telling me about his childhood games
- 12:20that he commonly played alongside his friends. He was still excited when he told
- 12:26me he was playing hide- and- seek, the marbles, the Changais
- 12:31and other games that were unknown to me. That' s why I asked
- 12:35him where he lived, because those games I had never practiced, to which
- 12:39he didn' t respond. He also told me how he learned to ride
- 12:43a bicycle. It was so much his emotion that he described me as was
- 12:48the experience of being able to balance in it. He told me that no
- 12:52one taught him little by little how he could learn until one day he stopped
- 12:56falling showed me the scars on his knees. For so many falls I couldn
- 13:01' t do anything but laugh. He was very serious looking at me He
- 13:07didn' t seem to like me laughing at his punches. I asked him
- 13:09more seriously why he had learned to do so. Only to me, my
- 13:13father had taught me how to use it. He grabbed the bike from the
- 13:18back until one day he let me go without realizing I had already learned to
- 13:22walk on it. How strange he answered me. It was not our custom
- 13:28for our parents to teach us how to ride a bicycle. All my friends
- 13:33learned the same way. I found it unusual, but I didn' t
- 13:39care. We continue to talk about our childhood situations. I also told him
- 13:45about the falls I put on when I learned how to walk in Patines.
- 13:48That day. I couldn' t make progress in my writings or my readings.
- 13:54We' ve had enough time to talk about things from the past.
- 13:56I liked being with Mario. However, there was something in which he could
- 14:01not understand. Sometimes he looked very pale as if he was ill, but
- 14:07I didn' t dare ask him about his state of health. Perhaps if
- 14:11he had a disease that caused colorless skin. One day I used to see
- 14:18him arrive first than I, to my strangeness, was not there. I
- 14:20stayed that day working with my writings without him showing up. It' s
- 14:26time for me to leave the place and he didn' t make it.
- 14:31I left dismayed because I didn' t know if anything had happened to her.
- 14:35As I approached the front door, I saw how far away they were
- 14:39burying a deceased. A small group of people were near the tomb while praying
- 14:45unknown prayers. It was strange for me to see someone buried because it took
- 14:52some time to go to that place without a burial. The next day.
- 14:58Again, my friend didn' t show up like this, it took several
- 15:01days for him to show up. It was at that moment that I realized
- 15:05that I only knew his name, but not his address or his cell phone
- 15:09number. After several days passed, I thought I' d never see him
- 15:15again for a moment. I thought I' d go look for him because
- 15:18it made me very strange the way he disappeared. All he knew was that
- 15:22he lived very close to the cemetery. I meant to ask about him,
- 15:28but I didn' t. I had already come to the idea that I
- 15:31would never see him again until one day, when I got to the usual
- 15:37place there I was sitting with my look lost immediately. I asked him if
- 15:43something bad had happened to him. He said yes. Sadly. He told
- 15:48me that his sister had died a few days earlier. He explained to me
- 15:52that it was very difficult for him to accept this loss. That' s
- 15:56why he was away for several days. I asked her if she laughed well
- 16:00buried in this cemetery. He said yes. He pointed his finger at me
- 16:04in the direction of his grave. That' s when I realized that it
- 16:10was the day of the burial that I saw if I had known, I
- 16:15would have been able to accompany him. That morning, he didn' t
- 16:18talk, he didn' t want to do anything. All the time.
- 16:19He was quiet and thoughtful. I didn' t mean to take it out
- 16:23of his mind. I understood that I was going through a grieving process,
- 16:27so I devoted myself to doing my readings without bothering him for several days.
- 16:33He was absent. It looked like his mind was somewhere else. Suddenly he
- 16:38began to talk about something he did not fully understand. He told me that
- 16:42death is not what most people imagine. Some say that the soul of the
- 16:48person can go to heaven, hell or purgatory. According to your actions.
- 16:53He went on to say that the sky is believed to be the place among
- 16:57clouds where God meets and you are going to live with him. Threads angels
- 17:02for eternity remained silent. For a few minutes later he told me that hell
- 17:08was not that place with fire where souls cry and beg, either, because
- 17:12they take it out of that horrible and burning place. Much less there was
- 17:17purgatory, that temporal space in which the soul of the person purifies his being
- 17:22and then transcends. I was about to interrupt him because I thought he was
- 17:29saying something that I wasn' t sure about. No dead person had come
- 17:32to tell us what is in the afterlife when he firmly told me that death
- 17:36was not the end of life, but a constant opportunity and threat. It
- 17:41is the continuous alternation of life and death of composition and decomposition there is no
- 17:47life without death and death without life. That' s when I thought my
- 17:52friend was a little crazy or he was wandering because he didn' t understand
- 17:57what he meant by that speech, but I think he suspected he was going
- 18:02to deny it, because he immediately told me that when a person dies,
- 18:06his soul goes nowhere to those places that people commonly refer to. This soul,
- 18:11when detached from the body, wanders aimlessly, is found here and everywhere,
- 18:15in coexistence with the living. He told me that there was a kind
- 18:22of portal where there are times when those souls can be with the living.
- 18:25There are other moments in which the not interesting thing about this is not to
- 18:30get lost and stay on one side, because then if fatal things can happen.
- 18:36I didn' t want to hear it anymore. I understood that he
- 18:38was very sensitive to the matter of death, because he had lived it very
- 18:44closely a few days ago. But from there, to believe everything he told
- 18:47me was far away. He noticed that I was no longer comfortable with his
- 18:52talk. He apologized and preferred to retire. I saw when he walked away
- 18:57was erratic. First he walked to one side of the tombs, then I
- 19:02saw him pass to the other side. I understood that his strange conduct was
- 19:07the product of the same, but it was preferable to give him some space.
- 19:11I still stayed a while longer at the place. I wanted to make
- 19:15the most of my stay at the cemetery, because the college holidays were coming
- 19:21and I knew I wouldn' t go every day anymore. I saw the
- 19:25time of my class approaching, I headed towards the exit. In the distance,
- 19:29I saw a girl who greeted me enthusiastically, approached me to find out
- 19:33who I was. When I was close, I could recognize her was Adriana,
- 19:37a high school roommate. Broadly. She told me her mother was buried
- 19:42there, but her grave was damaged. He was in the process of rebuilding,
- 19:48so he would return the next day. Maybe it' ll be over
- 19:52by now. I told him a hundred and I left. I ran into
- 19:59Marrio again. He looked different. He stopped talking about death. We talked
- 20:03about our childhood meals. He told me that his favorite candy was the pine
- 20:08tree, the coyules. In my ice creams and bread sticks I didn'
- 20:14t know those sweets, so I asked him if he was from another state
- 20:18or from another country. He said no. He questioned me because I didn
- 20:22' t know them, which I told him I didn' t even know
- 20:26that was it. At that moment I saw my friend Adriana. He greeted
- 20:30me in the distance. I told my friend to wait for me. I
- 20:34was going to introduce her to a friend, I walked up to her,
- 20:38and I walked up to the tree to introduce her to Mario. She was
- 20:41surprised when I told her I was talking to a friend. He replied that
- 20:47ever since he saw me, I was alone. I told him that was
- 20:51not true, because Mario, my friend, was with me. She didn
- 20:56' t tell me. I saw you talking to someone, but I didn
- 21:00' t see anyone around you. In fact, it made me very strange
- 21:03to see you. That way I was watching for a few minutes I can
- 21:08tell you that there was no one with you. I couldn' t believe
- 21:14what Adriana was telling me. In that I remembered which part of the cemetery
- 21:18I was going to. When we said goodbye, I ran crazy over that
- 21:22side of the graves. Adriana didn' t understand what was happening to me,
- 21:26but she followed me. I searched each of the graves for the inscription
- 21:30with the name of the deceased. In that I found a tomb whose slab
- 21:36was fresh. It had to be that one. Indeed, it was notorious
- 21:41that someone, Mario’ s sister, had recently been buried. On the
- 21:45tombstone was an inscription with the name Mario alcantara. One thousand nine hundred and
- 21:52seventy- nine hundred and ninety- one. I was frozen when I saw
- 21:56his name written, his year of birth and his death. Now I understood
- 22:02all your games, your favorite sweets, your knowledge of death. At that
- 22:07moment I wondered if he told me the truth. When he told me about
- 22:11her, I hesitated to think that the dead could live with the living.
- 22:15My hobby of being in a cemetery changed completely. I' ll be right
- 22:21there, but I' m done. Friends, anonymous account
