Almacenados

by Jack Zagha New World View: Mexico

For the past 39 years the dutiful Mr Lino has worked as a supervisor in a warehouse. Employed at the largest producer of aluminium ship masts and flagpoles, Mr Lino is responsible for the ship masts in Warehouse B. He is about to retire with only five days left to teach the snotty young Nin the ropes: “We have to be ready when a truck comes in.” However, Nin soon realises that hardly anything is ever delivered here. As the days go by, the dissimilar pair gets to know and like each other. A little white lie is certainly no reason not to be friends. ALMACENADOS is a delightfully absurd tragicomedy dealing with work ethics, duty and constant vigilance.
