Nº 05 | Short story | Science fiction | 4253 words | In a near future where permanent internet connectivity has been banned after leaving almost an entire generation blind, Vicente works the night shift at a care home for elderly people who once lived online. Their favorite pastime is playing a tactile version of Battleship, led by the sharp-tongued Santiago and newly invigorated by Olivia, a former YouTuber whose voice rekindles withdrawn Rosario’s ability to speak.

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.
