Cult to the Dog, a weird story by A.J.


Coherence is order. Order is oppression.

When we can disturb the stability of social structure, we are walking to freedom.  But I’m not only talking about demonstrations or something like that; I’m referring to a radical way of opposition, an illogical opposition, a manifesto against the elementary particle of the occidental and totalitarian society of the knowledge-as-power and the power-as-knowledge: the semantics coherence.

So, I wanted to contribute to the cause by writing a story, a novel. I call him “Cult to the Dog”, “Culto al Perro” in Spanish. The story is not finished yet, I’m writing it. There are 10 chapters finalized.



Cult to the Dog talks to us about the crazy, illogical, ritualistic and psychedelic experiences of a dog and some country-men who escaped from their violent and oppressive homes and job places. Tio Piche is the oldest one, who meets the dog in the country roads, near a volcano. He proclaims himself as the messiah of a new religion, with the dog as a god. Catrilaf and Juanito Peña are younger, and they randomly meet Tio Piche. Catrilaf is a farm worker in a apple field, who is always cruelly exploited and mistreated by his employer. One day, he was seriously attacked by the bullies of his boss and abandoned in forest, near the same volcano. In the other hand, Juanito Peña is a mushroom’s fan, was expelled from his home, where he lived with the poultry. He started to walk, without an apparent reason, to the mountain, near volcano. They are going to be founded by the dog.

Tío Piche, Catrilaf and Juanito Peña are the first members of that new religion, worshiping the dog, realizing very funny, inusual, crazy and incoherent rituals and starting a long walk by the roads of his land, converting people and liberating the world from the unjust logical order. But they have a strong enemy: The aristocracy and the church.

I invite you to read the first 9 chapters online. I hope you like it!
