María Luisa García thought it was just a cold. A little cough, some aches — nothing she hadn’t pushed through before. But within days, her body began to fail her. Her muscles locked, her chest burned, and her skin took on a strange, grey hue. In her small Madrid apartment, her husband watched helplessly as neighbours up and down the street fell ill with the same mysterious sickness. Hospitals overflowed. Children couldn’t breathe. Entire families were struck down overnight. No one knew what was happening — not the doctors, not the government, not the terrified people watching their loved ones waste away. Some blamed pesticides, others whispered of a new virus. But the truth was far more ordinary — and far more horrifying.
