In “Death Republic,” a nation’s population finds itself apathetically losing
the fear of death.
STORY EXCERPT:
We lost our fear of death on a day like any other. It might have
been a Monday or a Thursday, or it might have been during the weekend—it
doesn’t matter anymore, does it? Some say it started like a ball of yarn, as we
slowly pulled the thread until all of us were tangled in it, tied by our necks
and ankles and wrists, but I say it spread like a contagious disease.
How do you lose something so primal,
so instinctive that even unicellular organisms can feel it? Easy: you don’t
notice that it’s gone. You don’t think you ever needed it . . .
—Death
Republic by H. PUEYO
