But Asleep

By Danilo Hermar

"Do you remember your birth? Of course not. Consciousness presents itself very slowly, to the point where you don't know when you started to exist.

When dying, the opposite happens. You become so aware of your entire existence that it's scary. It's like looking at a mirror without knowing it's you, but at the same time you can't ignore that the one moving is you.

Now, coming back to life, that's terrifying because both things happen."

A short novel that intertwines two stories defined by their encounter with death. The main plot follows three scientists-marked by loss and ambition-as they strive to bring their loved ones back to life, while an enigmatic illness makes them lose their sleep.
