A woman recalls a mysterious episode from thirty years earlier, when she was a child in the borderlands where Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil meet. She remembers a cursed search for a treasure hidden by a local bandit—a quest that left several of its participants dead or missing, and was rumored to be connected to the shadowy cult of San La Muerte. Devotees of this superstition believe that true protection can only be attained by having a tiny skeleton, an effigy of Death known as a “payé,” implanted beneath the skin.
