Verde Franko Desejo

Abstract

The story follows a narrator with no specified gender who experiences a deep sense of exhaustion, as if their body had been organized in advance and assigned a script they never chose. One night, an ink creature shaped like an octopus emerges from the narrator’s mouth and offers a “gift”: the possibility of making desire real by rewriting the body. After this pact, the ink begins to act on the body, reshaping breasts, genitals and other features, always in response to the narrator’s will. In parallel, dreams and memories of creation and abandonment in a laboratory rework the Frankenstein myth within an urban landscape of rooftops, stairwells and inner courtyards. The text links experiences of affective and social rejection to scenes of expulsion, violence and loss of shelter, bringing the figure closer to dissident trajectories of gender and sexuality. As the narrator’s tentacles extend across time and space, they encounter other ink-marked lives in different historical contexts and refuse the fantasy of destroying the creator. In the end, the narrator becomes the presence that crosses into someone else’s bedroom, opening a new cycle of bodily transformation and world rewriting.
