Ofelia's house has more than a thousand rooms. None of its corners is the same as another. Birds cross the fourth wall. The shadows move with the wind as if they were leaves and fruits are filled with flies. The wallpapers change color with each new season. And the vases... The vases in Ofelia's house are filled with snakes. Bunches of snakes that wriggle and hiss and wake up the spiders in the corners. You don't want to touch the snakes in the vases. They are not poisonous but they will reveal your darkest secrets. Flora Márquez, 2021.
