Posted by Michel Morvan on
" It must have been a few minutes past 7:30 a.m. on March 11, 2004, when I received the message that would change my life; a text message from an unknown number that read:
– Figure among the dead. There is nothing to regret. Still I love you. Long happy life.
[...]
Throughout the morning and afternoon I was unable to reach my fiancé. It was only in the early evening that I learned that he had been a victim of the Atocha bombs, that he had become a figure among the dead ."
On 15 March 2004 at noon, three minutes of silence were observed throughout the European Union in memory of the 191 victims of the attacks at the Atocha train station in Madrid on 11 March.
The Spanish refer to this event as 11-M .
Figure among the dead , a novel by Fréville.
