Wearing Astronauts Boots

The story begins with an unexpected event: Marcos, a boy with a peculiar hairstyle, discovers that during the night, his shoes have been replaced by astronaut boots. This far from trivial event triggers a series of surreal situations in which everyday objects disappear and are replaced by strange and magical ones, such as a talking toilet or a self-playing guitar.

The climax arrives when Marcos discovers that these objects come from his dreams and that the boots are the vehicle for entering and leaving them. Inspired by his discovery, Marcos begins to write stories where the characters and situations are born from his dream world. His best story, entitled ‘Wearing Astronaut’s Boots,’ reflects his own experience and ingeniously brings the narrative full circle.
