The Whispering Corner
-by Sergio Quirós Martínez-
In a hidden corner of the ancient forest of Gorbea stands the "Tree of Memories". Every year, on the day of the solstice, a child had to carve his name on its trunk, promising to return. One day, Galder, a brave young man, bids farewell to his grandfather at the root of the tree, swearing that he would always return to tell him his stories.
The years go by, the seasons change, and although time tries to blur his promises, Galder always returns. Every time he returns, the leaves of the tree whisper anecdotes of his life, and the wind, an accomplice, carries his stories to the sky.
At the end of her life, Galder sits once more under the "Tree of Memories", knowing that her grandfather listens to her. In that sacred corner, memory and love linger, like an eternal breeze among the branches.
