Nº 03 | Short story | Horror | 2691 words | Macarena Araya Lira | Spanish version | Translated by Trinidad Montalva | A medical student obsessed with being the best goes to a bar after a grueling ER shift where she watched doctors save a nearly decapitated man. Sleep-deprived and collapsing, she crosses a frozen, hostile city trying to get home, but instead drifts back to the hospital, the only place that feels like hers. On the edge of delirium, haunted by childhood memories of failed resuscitation, she decides she must save the patient herself, pushing her exhausted body and faith in “never letting anyone die” to a brutal, catastrophic extreme.
