𝕺FELIA NARVAEZ HAS BEEN DYING SINCE BEFORE SHE WAS BORN.
Everybody is, in a way. The very moment a child takes that first, gasping breath before bursting into tears, their lungs filling with so much air they could burst, a mother's arms cradling the fragile, newborn body, a clock starts ticking — a commencement, yes, but a countdown, too. Human bodies are not meant to last forever. The cells of the body divide themselves and mutate and perish with a whimper. Oxygen, what keeps humans alive, and the nitrogen that comes with each inhale, morph and shift into molecules that oxidize the organism. Every breath kills; surviving means dying. Despite the battles genes fight against it, the flesh ages and deteriorates and rots.
