I guess this short story must be attracting. This year in Culture III we learned that History is a construction, a sort of fabrication which involves the perspective of the author. According to your summary this story seems to be connected with this idea. I definitely will read it. bye.
Again, Néstor! You have given too much of the plot away! When commenting, be careful about not saying anything that may give away important elements or situations that the reader would like to discover alone.
Sorry, it won't happen again. Well,I read the story and it's very interesting. There's great expectation which starts to develop as the plot unfolds and that causes a great deal of surprise by the end. Bye
