On Borges Park

This kid, Víctor, he was a good kid, a good lad, he wasn't a bad person and he didn't deserve what happened to him. True, he used to sneak out of school and go smoke weed. Who hasn't done that at some point? And even though I'm not a supporter of marijuana, its legalization and all that (personally I think that those who say that marijuana isn't addictive should be locked up in psychiatric hospitals, and the key thrown away), that wasn't a reason for him to disappear just like that.

Many things were said about him afterwards, about him and his family. They said that they were involved in drug dealing, that he was a drug addict, that he was selling drugs at his school, that his father was in jail… Pure nonsense, that's because the police had no idea where to point, and they pointed everywhere, they even suspected his older brother, they arrested him and interrogated him too many times. Once they even assaulted him by throwing a beer can at his head.

Anyway, that day Víctor went alone to Borges Park. His best friend was grounded with no cell phone and his other friend, Linda, or Lynda, I think, didn't go to school because she was feeling sick. So he went alone, and something happened, he contacted his friend Jorge by WhatsApp, but he couldn't answer him for obvious reasons, it was only three days later when, his parents gave him back his cell phone, that he found out about his friend's messages.

Yeah, I remember very well that case, everybody in Iquique was a kind of shocked, because we used to have bad experiences with the disappearance of people. There were a lot of rumors, a lot of cretins who spoke without having any idea. The police said that possibly - possibly - it was a case of a runaway, 'cause it was the easiest answer they had, and the one that required the least amount of work.

A cousin of mine works in the parquet office in Iquique, he told me about this case, and about some phone calls, I'm going to talk to him to find out if he knows anything else about it.

Well, here is a copy of the WhatsApp messages that Víctor sent. His cell phone was seized by the police and was never returned to him. I can't say how I got this, it's from someone somewhat close to the family, and this is still painful for them:

Víctor
Jorge? Are you there?
10:11

Víctor
Are you reading this?
10:13

Víctor
I think I'm lost, I mean, I am lost, totally lost.
10:16

Víctor
Look, I came to Borges Park, I got in, and now I can't get out.
10:18

Víctor
Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!
10:20

Víctor
Why the fuck don't you answer?
10:20

Víctor

10:40

Víctor
Shit THIS ISN'T A JOKE!!!!! DUDEI'MNOTJOKING!!!!!!!!!!!
10:43

Víctor
I'm better now, I got nervous, but I'm better.
11:12

Víctor
Well, I'm lost, I don't know where I am, it's not in the park because there are trees here that I've never seen before.

Weird.
11:15

Víctor
Here everything is much bushier, is that how it's called? There are more trees, more things, more plants, and some are weird.
11:16

Víctor
There are places where it's hard for me to get through because there are so many plants, bushes, ferns? This is much more like in the south, like when I went on vacation to Valdivia, the vegetation is more abundant.
11:17

Víctor
I mean it's much more damp, some trees have so many leaves that sometimes they don't let the sun shine through, and I've come across strange things, I swear I saw a piano, it was covered with vines and plants, very weathered, as if it had been there for years.
11:19

Víctor
I forgot to take a picture.
11:20

Víctor:
Are you not answering 'cause you are at school or 'cause your parents took away your cell phone?
11:32

Víctor
Dude, please, this isn't a joke, give the cell phone back to Jorge, or better yet, answer me, I'm lost and I'm panicking.
11:34

Víctor
I came across a railway, seriously, there's rails, there's those other things, steps? Made of wood. Here, I'll send you a picture.

Not that I don't think it's true, but why are they just words and not images? I mean, why not screenshots?

I talked to my cousin in Iquique, he said he was going to check the case files, and he remembered the WhatsApp messages. He also said that there were no "screenshots" because those things aren't allowed in a court file, only transcripts.

He also told me that there was a call, just one, to the kid's house, and they confirmed that it was made from his cell phone. His mother answered it, and she says that the only thing she heard was someone crying, whimpering rather, something very overwhelmed and desperate, and that she heard only one sentence, before the call ended.

"Mom… forgive me."
