The Yard





The following story was made during a weekend workshop in Buenos Aires, 2008. Slogan: To make a child-tale based on values, within a lapse of 4 hours and non longer to 8 lines.

Suddenly, there were too many children in the yard of the greatest building of the city, none of them were known in spite of living in the same place.

It was one of those afternoons like any other one, full of light and traffic, those of everyday. The children did not know how to interact among themselves. But John, the foreman’s son (kept at a distance of the cyber world), lonely, or maybe ignored, was the one who invited them to play, as he did it every single day.

And after many hours, and although the electricity returned they continued sharing that afternoon, the first of many more.
