Leaf Storm
A retired colonel, his daughter and his grandson sit for half an hour beside the coffin of a doctor whom Macondo has sworn to leave unburied, each turning over the debt and the disgrace that put them in the room. The boy counts the minutes, the mother remembers the stranger's arrival, the old man holds to a promise made twenty-five years back. García Márquez's first book, and the founding of Macondo.
