RE: Chapter 17: Phantom Echoes and the Clockwork Hound 第十七章:幽灵余烬与发条猎犬

For starters, my PC has broken down. Constant power outages and electrical noise don't help protect the equipment. I am currently trying to revive my small, noisy contraption. My path is a narrow one, making it increasingly difficult for me to participate in the community. My health isn't the best these days, either. Since yesterday, the telephone network and mobile data have been down; only the Wi-Fi connection is barely hanging on.
I could write "Dear Diary."
It would make for a good story.
I don't want the Three Wise Men to turn out to be my parents—that would make it all a lie. Day Two. Dear Diary. The neighbor's dog has been kidnapped.
Dear diary. I was born on a day when God was sick.

The possibilities would be endless. I strive to elevate my culture and my art.

Your novel is both visual and literary art. In a tough genre, imagination is more than just a gift; it is essential to this type of storytelling. Narrating the unknown, captivating an audience, and maintaining a steady emotional and literary level throughout the story is one of literature's greatest challenges. Writing while keeping that rhythm—without visible seams or uneven patches—is complex. Yet, your voice and style are unmistakable. Your characters evolve—their psyches and their fading humanity—and yet they suffer. They carry fear and hope like a stigma that is both flesh and a sign of surrender. I hope to keep encountering your work—your craftsmanship. Success on your journey, and remember: don't give up on art.
I will return whenever my circumstances allow.
I leave you in the best of hands.

Vete a la cama mientras la historia se desarrolla e intenta ahorrar energías. Si me preguntas, Dios estuvo enfermo todo el mes, no solo el día que naciste.
La historia seguirá ahí, quizá también los pelícanos; el resto es un misterio, patatas, tomates, gatos y perros incluidos.
Podemos hibernar y despertarnos tras el Big Bang, cambiar o... Y si no, no se pierde nada.

Get to bed, while the story evolves and try to save your energy. If you ask me God was ill the entire month, not just the day you were born.
The story will be there, the pelicans might, the rest is a mystery, potatoes, tomatoes and cats and dogs included.
We can hibernate and wake up after the big bang, change or... And if not, there's nothing lost.

Dear @almaguer, I am deeply moved by your poetic and profound words. To read such a beautiful analysis of my characters' fading humanity and struggles, especially while you are going through your own severe hardships, means more to me than I can express. Your artistic soul shines brightly even through the screen.

Please listen to @wakeupkitty—health and rest must come first. Art can wait. Actually, I am also stepping away from the keyboard for a couple of days to celebrate my little grandson's 3rd birthday this weekend. The cyberpunk world of Hell's Eye will pause, and it will be right here waiting for both of us when we return.

Please take good care of yourself, recover your energy, and I look forward to seeing you again when the storms pass. Sending you my warmest regards!

Cuando te leo, siento que tus palabras son alivio para el alma. Sé lo que estás viviendo. He atravesado por eso, niveles mínimos, no máximos como tú, y de solo volver a ese punto siento pánico. Quizás, lo único que te dé aliento para seguir sean tus hijos, tu mujer y el resto de la familia.

Deseo que Dios logre sanarse, superar su convalecencia, caminar entre las aguas y acabar con todos los miserables de tu hermosa isla para que reine de nuevo la esperanza en los ojos de sus habitantes. Te quiero con el alma.

Reading what you wrote reminded me of another time. I was happily reading Noticias del Imperio by Fernando del Paso—you know him, a master among masters. I think everyone should read it.
My children and family are my strength, but I couldn't fail to mention you and Kitty. Coming back here means returning to a space of art and reconnection; I always find the energy to create when you are around.
It saddens me to see the news coming from your beautiful country. The tentacles of empire are spreading everywhere, rotting everything they touch.
I hope all your loved ones are well; they are family to me.
