The House of Forgiveness

The House of Forgiveness

In times of reconciliation for humanity, marked in the 21st century, a great natural disaster occurred on the island of Calma. A volcano had erupted out of nowhere, activating with great force for three months.

In the coming and going of what would result with material and human things, an enigmatic house was observed, where the lava of the volcano seemed to turn it around. Well as not wanting to harm it, as if a great supernatural force existed in it, against what was happening.

Nothing happened to that house, perhaps, that would be it’s destiny, to be saved. At the end of the volcano’s eruption, the House of Forgiveness was one of the few that remained standing. Despite being located where the lava had destroyed everything in its path.

The damage figures were overwhelming, more than 1,500 houses buried under the lava, in addition to hundreds of acres of agricultural land. Hotels and schools, as well as 87 miles of roads and other infrastructure. Such as the drinking water networks, street lighting, electrical energy in the interiors of the houses and the telephone network.

The volcanic eruption took place in an inhabited area, but for the sake of fate the House of Forgiveness was not destroyed, even though mother nature was angry with the inhabitants of the island.

La Casa del Perdón

En tiempos de reconciliación para la humanidad, marcados en el siglo XXl, ocurrió un gran desastre natural en la isla de la Calma. Un volcán de la nada había hecho erupción, activándose con gran fuerza durante tres meses.

En el ir y venir de lo que resultaría con las cosas materiales y humanas, se observaba una enigmática casa, en donde la lava del volcán pareciera le sacara la vuelta, así como no queriendo hacerle daño, como si en ella existiera una gran fuerza sobrenatural en contra de lo que estaba sucediendo.

A esa casa nada le pasaba; tal vez, ese sería su destino, salvarse. Al término de la erupción del volcán, la Casa del Perdón fue una de las pocas que quedó en pie, a pesar de estar ubicada en donde la lava arrasó con todo lo que se encontraba a su paso

Las cifras de los daños fueron abrumadoras, más de 1,500 viviendas sepultadas bajo la lava, además de cientos de hectáreas de terrenos agrícolas, hoteles y escuelas, así como 87 kilómetros de carreteras y otras obras de infraestructura como redes de agua potable, alumbrado público, energía eléctrica en los interiores de las casas y la red de telefonía.

La erupción volcánica tuvo lugar en una zona habitada, pero por aras del destino la Casa del Perdón no fue destruida, aunque la madre naturaleza haya estado enfurecida con los habitantes de la isla.
