There was a boy who lived in space. His family constantly surrounded him with love. But, for fear of extinguishing his bright light, the boy died without ever receiving a hug.

Familia – Tania Musso

Dinero, salud, amor, familia. Lo tenía todo. No sabía que su vida se tornaría oscura y tenebrosa. Todo empezó cuando en uno de sus tantos viajes de negocios no regresó a casa. Despertó en un cuarto lúgubre. Pasaron días, semanas, meses en aquel siniestro encierro. ya había perdido la noción del tiempo y la esperanza. Finalmente, llegó la hora de su desenlace ya que sería ejecutada por la tarde. Cuando su verdugo entró al cuarto, cargó el rifle y le apuntó directo a la sien. mientras le preguntaba, ¿quieres morir o trabajar para nosotros? En ese momento supo que volvería a ver a su familia.

Family – Tania Musso

Money, health, love, family. I had it all. He didn’t know that his life would become dark and gloomy. It all started when on one of his many business trips he did not return home. He woke up in a gloomy room. Days, weeks, months passed in that sinister confinement. I had already lost track of time and hope. Finally, the time for her outcome arrived as she would be executed in the afternoon. When his executioner entered the room, he loaded the rifle and aimed it directly at his temple while I asked him, do you want to die or work for us? At that moment he knew he would see his family again.
