An unsettling and magnetic story from Spain\u2019s most acclaimed horror author.<\/span><\/i><\/b>\r\n\r\n<b><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b>\r\n\r\n<b><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\">The narrator visits his centenarian grandfather every day, a lonely man living in an old apartment whose life revolves around a vast model train layout presided over by the Adler locomotive. Among hills and miniature landmarks from around the world, the grandfather places a tiny figurine identical to his grandson inside one of the train cars. Soon, the narrator discovers that by closing his eyes, he can \u201ctravel\u201d as that wooden double, journeying through distant cities and landscapes with lifelike intensity.<b><\/b><\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The journeys become addictive, taking over even his office hours. He suspects that his grandfather knows the secret too\u2014something confirmed when he finds a youthful replica of the old man within the miniature world. He then recalls the argument that forever broke the relationship between his father and grandfather: on his wedding day, his father received as a gift a set of figurines of himself and his bride, which he threw down the toilet in anger. From that day on, he was never able to dream again.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Determined not to travel alone, the narrator asks his grandfather to create his ideal companion. Shortly afterward, Teresa\u2014the receptionist from his office\u2014appears in the train car, inexplicably drawn to him in real life as well. Within the miniature world, they share a perfect romance, traveling daily through ever-changing sceneries: from Rome to Oslo, from Beijing to Paris, Istanbul, and the windswept plains of Patagonia, where together they plant roses against the wind.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">But one day, a rat invades their journey, destroying the train and carrying off the grandfather\u2019s figurine. The attack echoes in the real world: the narrator and Teresa feel physical pain, and the grandfather dies in violent convulsions, as if his life were being torn from within.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Alone and devastated, the narrator realizes that the magic dies with its creator. He sets fire to the model, keeping only the figures of himself and Teresa\u2014now condemned to a real world stripped of the fantastical geography that once united them. The story closes with a haunting image: like the roses they planted in Patagonia, their love\u2014and all that is beautiful\u2014seems destined to be scattered by the wind.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b><span lang=\"EN-US\">RELEVANT INFORMATION: <\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\">F\u00e9lix J.
