Expect Layout: cuento de navidad Faltan unos minutos para la medianoche. El lugar parece una bodega abandonada, unos talleres fuera de servicio o una antigua estación ferroviaria, pues a lo lejos se escucha el ruido característico de un tren de carga. Un hombre está amarrado a un asiento. Su rostro está descompuesto por el pánico: tiene la piel amarilla, los ojos están inyectados en sangre, una barba de varios días cubre sus mejillas, dos ojeras le hunden la mirada de mala manera y la comisura de los labios le tiembla nerviosamente. A su lado, un joven con pantalones anchos y gorro de lana hace el papel de guardián con un revólver en la mano. Una puerta se abre al fondo y entra otro muchacho. Dice con prisa, atropellando las palabras: —Listo, tenemos que hacerlo. —¿Dieron la orden? —pregunta el primero. —Sí, salgamos de esto rápido. El prisionero suplica, llora, ruega, ofrece dinero a sus victimarios. Los jóvenes se juegan con una moneda el papel de verdugo a un cara o sello. Pierde el joven guardián, revisa las balas en el tambor de su revólver y acerca el arma a la sien del prisionero. Cuando va a tirar del gatillo se escuchan fuegos artificiales y el lugar se ilumina de pronto con luces multicolores y fantasmagóricas. El sicario desvía la mirada y sus ojos se pierden allá lejos, detrás de la ventana. Baja el revólver y dice: —Lo hacemos mañana. Hoy es Navidad.
