The city of Opuesto is made up of two half-cities. One lay in ruins, but you can still see the structures that used to stand, the other lay in same condition as it was when it was first built. In one city the sky lines are crowded with nails that have been banged into the wood. Everything from the skyscrapers that rise above the city, the steam boats, to the walkways that the inhabitants cross as did their ancestors thousands of years prior are made of wood. The other half of the city is made of metal and lay in pieces as people every day move to the half made of wood. All that is left of the city made of metal are the schoolyards that are deserted and a few homes that people with ghostly faces reside in.
I learned that the half-city of Opuesto, with its foundations made out of metal, was never meant to be permanent only a temporary residence while immigrants flooded these cities. They stay in the side made of metal until their new home is built out of wood.
Every moment I tell you of this half city, another piece of metal begins to decay. And so every week, men dressed in uniforms remove the scraps that have decayed overtime. Here remains the half of Opuesto where the strongest material lie and the material will never die.
