SANTA CECILIA

“This city of yours, of columns and enchantment, is submerged… And there are deaths, epidemics of nostalgia, sadness…I am under the sea. They abandoned me. One by one I saw them leave. That is the price you pay for death when you are over one hundred years old: to see the sea submerging you and the world left in ruins.”
Written by Abilio Estévez
Translated by Kate Eaton
