THE THIRD RESIGNATION
This was my first ever story of Marquez when I had read it and it had proved to be of an unusual sort!
A young boy, whose name I did not know, neither Marquez told me till the end.
He was kept alive inside a coffin. His body continued to grow, he turned from seven years old to twenty-five.
He was buried alive!
Really?
But a living person can’t resign himself to being buried alive.
What was this all about? Read it guys. it’s short! This story will give you an idea of how this master storyteller conveys a message in such a unique fashion.
