One can find the elements of magical realism within Julio Cortazar's short story, "The House Taken Over."

The author chose to describe two siblings, who lived an isolated life, in their Argentine ancestral home.

The siblings' unrealistic choices to remain unmarried and live off the family farm's income evokes the hubris of extraordinary plenitude without purpose.   What becomes worrisome is that they did not find any fulfillment in their idle consumption of French literary works and practiced perfectionism in cloth knitting.  

They lived a life of mystery and fear, remaining defenseless amidst alien invasion of their only home.  Without question or thought, they finally abandoned the house out of undefinable suspicion that the aliens, who had earlier occupied half of the house, had finally taken over the whole house.
