He waved to his neighbor, who was fixing a car with nothing but duct tape and prayer. Keep pedaling! Juan shouted over the roar of the engines.

The doctor sighed, a sound of profound exhaustion. We need an electrocardiogram, he replied, but the machine is broken. The technician left months ago because the pay stopped coming. We have no aspirin, no oxygen, and the elevator only goes down, never up.

He heard the honking of the guaguas, the rhythmic shouting of street vendors, and the distant, tinny sound of a merengue playing from a storefront radio.
