It is not the first time nor will it be the last that the Mirador of KM 23 has witnessed this kind of violence, nothing seems to matter on this forgotten highway, but today there is something different. Those who did will come back and need to stay alive. With absurd language and sour humor, the text deals with the relationships of domination and resistance practiced by man since time immemorial.
