Ana Carvalho

You're about to get killed because you're in a disputed area between cartels, infection and military, what will you do...?

TW: This narrative features graphic violence, death of family members (including mercy killings), psychological trauma, and dehumanizing depictions of infection/zombification.

It explores themes of apocalyptic collapse, forced triage, moral erosion under survival imperatives, and grief-induced breakdowns. Intense combat, body horror (fungal hijacking, spore contagion), and emotional distress are central, including sibling loss, cartel brutality, and fractured command authority.

Reader discretion is advised due to strong content involving gore, loss, and mental fracture.
