sitting on the hospital bed next to him was delivering a speech as if he was talking to a huge crowd, but no one paid him any attention.
    Across from him, a girl was crying uncontrollably in her bed. When she saw him looking at her, she started laughing like a lunatic. Juan had no idea why he was there, inside a hospital’s psych ward. He remembered nothing about what had happened. He felt like he had forgotten something important, and suddenly the image of the body of a little boy flashed in front of his eyes and he remembered everything.
    The boy had been killed in a brutal school bus accident, and his face had been completely smashed in. He couldn’t remember who the boy was, but he suddenly remembered his name, Aaron.
    The wall phone next to Juan rang. The nurse answered and passed it off to him.
    “Hello, who is this?”
    No one spoke at first. Then he heard a male voice. “I hope you get ready.” His eyes grew big. “Octa,” he said. He scanned the whole room.
    He turned to a nurse who was standing over his bed scribbling something in a file. He started to sit up and ask her what he was doing there when he read the name on the dossier.
