A beheaded corpse goes down the Magdalena River and runs ground in Puerto Berrío; there, it is buried as N.N. It’s a corpse attributed to war; thus, everybody avoids its tomb. One man has the courage to write on the tombstone “Escogido” (chose one): a promise that will take him to hell to find the head and return the body’s dignity.
