First lines
Rebeca avanza entre las tumbas. El sepulcro de su marido, muerto hace menos de un año, no tiene losa. La distinguen una cruz de madera pintada de azul y cuatro botes que hacen las veces de floreros.
–Válgame Dios Santo, parece un basurero -dice al ver en torno a la fosa de Marcial restos de comida, envases de cartón, cajetillas vacías de cigarros. En estos tiempos todos, vivos o muertos, andamos en la pura mugre.
