        The Gnawed

        by Cadena, Agustín

        The putrid flesh beings and the black tar coming from open wounds, the ones that are not alive but are not dead either, those ones called the gnawed are the ones that are eating all the people at the town. That’s where Cristina, Esteban, and Arturo live, the ones who survived this pandemic after their parents died, since, due to some reason, it does not affect children nor teens. To make things worse, Natalia, Cristina’s sister, goes missing without a trace. Over time, the town’s isolation, the lack of food, and the increase of attacks from the gnawed force the three friends to make the difficult decision to either stay to resist at home or undertake the trip to “the island”, a place that is rumored could be a refuge to the survivors of the gnawing.
