WARFARE<\/p>\n

Dedicated to chemotherapy survivors<\/em><\/p>\n

The event took place in a deserted, ghastly space. The men who would attack the being were dressed as cavemen. There were five of them. The being, man and beast at once, endured the onslaught bellowing, huffing and puffing, and finally letting them do as they pleased.<\/p>\n

The men perpetrating the attack did it without any feelings of guilt, commiseration, or rage. They did it, period. They did it as neither a pleasing nor repulsing duty. They did it for a salary, as mercenaries who believe that, against the enemy, anything goes. I, as a journalist, as a witness, was compiling, writing, describing, and photographing the event.<\/p>\n

The being started to transform itself with mutilations (changing forms internally and externally). It tried to adapt to its newly acquired disability. But as soon as the creature\u2019s attempts allowed it to stand up, the men from the team poisoned and fumigated it with chemical substances of different lethal colors. Then, the being transformed itself into a surviving specter of itself. Despite it all, it was still alive, not knowing who it was or if it would continue being someone.<\/p>\n

It was then that they, lacking any feelings whatsoever, burned him. The being did not scream, nor did it die; once again, it transformed itself. This time, no longer being half-animal, half beast, but rather half tree, half specter; its dry branches twisting onto itself. An eye hanging from the scorched leaves, the mass of its body \u2014that now seemed to have gained weight\u2014 slithering with difficulty through that spaceless and timeless space where the attack had occurred.<\/p>\n

The men considered their job done. They gathered their mallets, their uniforms made of animal hides, and, with an indifferent expression, started to leave. The being, hardly able to move, followed them recognizing in itself the awful creature created by them, the ones who would now assume no responsibility.<\/p>\n

I continued being fascinated, jotting down everything in my notes and immortalizing the moment with my camera. The human tree seemed to be looking for a way out, or just for an explanation of how to live from that moment on within that skin that would never be the one he was born with.<\/p>\n

The mercenaries, with another case in mind, shared among themselves a subtle and professional smile, moving away forever from the being that, abandoned to its fate, could only follow their movements with its gaze.<\/p>\n

GUERRA<\/p>\n

A los sobrevivientes de tratamientos qu\u00edmicos<\/em><\/p>\n

El evento tuvo lugar en un espacio despoblado, en blanco. Los hombres que atacar\u00edan al ser estaban vestidos de cavern\u00edcolas. Eran cinco. El individuo, hombre y bestia a la vez, recibi\u00f3 las arremetidas del brutal procedimiento mugiendo, bufando y al final dej\u00e1ndose hacer a voluntad.<\/p>\n

Los hombres que perpetraban el ataque lo hac\u00edan sin sentimiento de culpa, conmiseraci\u00f3n o rabia. Lo hac\u00edan y ya, como un deber que ni gusta ni repele. Lo hac\u00edan por un sueldo, como mercenarios para quienes todo vale contra el enemigo. Yo, como periodista y testigo, recopilaba, escrib\u00eda, describ\u00eda y fotografiaba semejante suceso.<\/p>\n

El ser se fue transformando con las mutilaciones. Adquir\u00eda formas cambiantes por dentro y por fuera. Trataba de acomodarse a su nueva invalidez. Pero en cuanto el intento parec\u00eda permitirle mantenerse en pie, los hombres del equipo lo envenenaron fumig\u00e1ndolo con substancias qu\u00edmicas de diferentes y mortales colores. Entonces, el sujeto se transform\u00f3 en un espectro sobreviviente de s\u00ed mismo. Continu\u00f3 vivo a pesar de todo. Sin saber bien ya qui\u00e9n era o si continuar\u00eda siendo alguien.<\/p>\n

Fue entonces cuando, exentos de sentimiento alguno, lo quemaron. La criatura no grit\u00f3, tampoco muri\u00f3. Se transform\u00f3 una vez m\u00e1s. Esta vez ya no ser\u00eda medio animal, medio bestia, sino medio \u00e1rbol, medio espectro. Sus ramas secas se retorc\u00edan sobre s\u00ed mismas. Un ojo le colgaba caprichosamente entre las hojas chamuscadas- La mole de su cuerpo, que parec\u00eda haber subido de peso, se deslizaba con dificultad por ese ambiente sin espacio ni tiempo donde hab\u00eda ocurrido el ataque.<\/p>\n

Los hombres dieron por terminado su trabajo. Recogieron sus pertrechos, sus uniformes cavern\u00edcolas hechos de pieles, y con expresi\u00f3n indiferente comenzaron a marchar. La criatura, pudi\u00e9ndose mover a duras penas los sigui\u00f3 reconoci\u00e9ndose un engendro creado por ellos, quienes ahora no asumir\u00edan ning\u00fan v\u00ednculo o responsabilidad.<\/p>\n

Yo segu\u00ed fascinada registrando todo en mis apuntes e inmortalizando el momento con mi c\u00e1mara. El humano-\u00e1rbol parec\u00eda buscar una salida. O tan s\u00f3lo una explicaci\u00f3n de c\u00f3mo vivir desde aquel momento en aquella piel, que jam\u00e1s volver\u00eda a ser aquella en la que hab\u00eda nacido.<\/p>\n

Los mercenarios, con otro caso en mente, compartieron entre ellos una sonrisa profesional y leve, alej\u00e1ndose para siempre del ser que, abandonado a su suerte, solo pudo seguirlos con la mirada.<\/p>\n
