Spanners - The Fountain Of Youth - Plot & Excerpts
She was getting used to calling herself Phoe (rhymes with “tree”) and not Kalar, and had an even harder time pretending that she was a migrant. The others on top of the train looked at her pale skin with surprise, and though she had dyed her hair black, she still couldn’t pass as a Bolivian emigrant. Soy una periodista, she learned to say with a smile. “I’m a reporter.” The Train of Death funneled countless migrants north through Mexico each year, and now Phoe was one of them. So were Phage and Geryon, and they blended in surprisingly well. Phage, though he had the high cheekbones and the narrow, aquiline nose of a European, was so disheveled that he could have been any race. He simply looked like he was about to die, and the other migrants avoided him because they didn’t want to catch what he had. They avoided Geryon because they were afraid of him. Some of the children called him El Chupacabra or El Cucuy under their breath, but the adults avoided him because they thought that this large man with a mask was a spy for the gangs who lurked at every stop.
