La otra parte de mí
by Fernando JasoLlega el libro de Fernando Jaso, el influencer más auténtico de YouTube. Mis tatuajes son historias. Recuerdos que aparecen en mi piel cuando algo me marca de forma intensa. Cada tatuaje esconde una historia estrechamente ligada a mí, un momento que supuso un antes y un después en mi vida. ¿Te atreves a descubrirlos? «¿No ha acabado?», preguntó Fernando. Le parecía de lo más normal estar hablando con un tigre. «No. Nunca acabará. Volverán a intentarlo», respondió el felino. «Tratarán de cazarte, de meterte en una jaula. Y, si les dejas, lo conseguirán.» El tigre dio media vuelta y, caminando con elegancia, se internó en la jungla. «¿Pero cómo voy a impedirlo? Ellos son más, son más fuertes. Y yo, yo soy...» El tigre le miró. Desde donde estaba, apenas podía distinguirle de las sombras. Solo podía ver el brillo de sus ojos fieros y salvajes, dos luces vibrando como fuego en la oscuridad. «Son cobardes, por eso siempre van en manada. Así que, cuando vengan a buscarte, haz que lo sepan. Haz que sepan que eres un tigre.»
