Title
4 HORSEMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE

One November night, in the bedroom, Death visits twenty-nine-year-old Lora and invites her to come with her. Lora slips away and decides to hide so well that Death will not find her for a long time. She returns to her hometown for her grandmother’s funeral, where she is haunted by a stench that only she can smell. This is a story of transgenerational pain, passed down from one generation to another. A story about silence and the ways it dictates the course of a life. About the shadows of violence that Lora carries with her every day. About a woman confronting the ghosts of a past she has been forced to forget. This is a story about uncovering the face of death. About the patriarchal stagnation of a hometown that refuses to change. About the things women are taught to endure, bury and forget. This is a story about Eve and, by extension, about every woman who has ever cried.
