The fire spread everywhere as more and more rubble fell from the half-destroyed building. Invisible hands held her and took her she didn\u2019t know where. She tilted her face in pain and she could see remains of mutilated bodies and blood, a lot of blood, flooding everything. She wanted to scream, she wanted to vomit, but she couldn\u2019t move. They had put a kind of mask on her and she felt powerless. Exhausted, nullified, destroyed to the depths of her soul. Only the sound of shouts and orders, cries and lamentations, managed from time to time to break through the great wall of dullness that surrounded her entire mind.<\/p>\r\n

She was put into a vehicle while she thought she heard kind and comforting words, but she was unable to see who was saying them. In her eyes there was only a frozen image. That of the people who until a moment ago had been next to her, alive with her and now, now were nothing more than a vague memory desolated by a terror that she was unable to understand. Her eyes were closing, she couldn\u2019t help it. She resigned herself to her, it was also time for her to fade away\u2026<\/p>\r\n

It wasn\u2019t like that, when she opened her eyes she was intubated and lying on a stretcher in a kind of huge tent or carp. Around her she could sense the presence of many people, she could hear their sorrowful voices. It didn\u2019t take long for her eyelids to become heavy again and plunge her into darkness.<\/p>\r\n

Soft hands touched her arm, pulling her back from the whirlwind of terrible images and nightmares she had been engulfed in for the past two days.<\/p>\r\n

\u2018Come on Marta, it\u2019s time to take your first walk. It\u2019s enough to be lazy. Your wounds are better now and we need you to get well soon so you can return home and finish recovering,\u2019 she heard a cheerful female voice tell her.<\/p>\r\n

She slowly opened her eyes, still unable to speak a word. She hadn\u2019t done it in all the time she had been there. She tried to gesture affirmatively and allowed herself to be helped up by the nurse. She was a woman of about sixty years old, who wore her brown and gray hair tied up with a rubber band. Her face was kind, although she looked somewhat haggard. She got up from her and let her guide her through the rows of wounded. There must have been about thirty people in that store next to her. Some were sleeping or unconscious, others were crying out for help to alleviate their pain. There were many who had suffered the loss of a limb. She couldn\u2019t help but shudder at the memories they brought back to her. She wanted to look down so she wouldn\u2019t see anything else.<\/p>\r\n

\u2018You are a lucky girl, soon your wounds will heal and you will be able to get your life back. Come on, let\u2019s go outside, I want you to see the sun. Today, despite the smoke and ash, it\u2019s going to be a great day. You\u2019ll see how it encourages you,\u2019 the woman pulled her.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Marta did not understand how she could have that spirit, that mood. So many people suffering around her and her smile never faded. The most surprising thing was that she was not the only one. The men and women who were treating the convalescents couldn\u2019t stop smiling and saying words of encouragement to the patients. How could they do it after the monstrous tragedy they had all experienced. When she went outside she could see how her tent was just one of many. She could see many people going from one place to another through the alleys of that improvised city. She believed that she was on the esplanade where the April Fair of Seville normally took place, between the neighborhoods of Los Remedios and Tablada. In the sky she could see planes flying and helicopters of all types flying around the city.<\/p>\r\n

\u2018I know, this has nothing to do with the streets decorated with lanterns and all the booths at the Fair, but there is life, Marta. Let\u2019s walk a little, you\u2019ll see how you start to feel stronger.\u2019 The nurse encouraged her again.<\/p>\r\n

She followed her slowly, her legs still hurting from the various injuries she had received in Los Viajeros explosion. She had been one of the luckiest, only minor scratches and a fairly large cut on her back. She had lost a lot of blood but they were able to catch her in time. Apart from that, no organs or body joints had been affected. She had been told that as soon as she got better, a psychologist would visit her, but she just wanted to go home and hide in the deepest corner she could find.<\/p>\r\n

She saw people active, working non-stop, trying to encourage others and she could only feel ashamed. The words she had said to Luis and the others still hammered in her head. How could she have said something so horrible right before most of them died. The reality was that she had no idea what had happened to them. She hadn\u2019t even been able to see her parents yet, although they had told her that they had been notified of her location and status. Instead, she saw that nurse helping her, all the people around her working hard day and night without sleeping. And all this knowing that most of them were volunteers.<\/p>\r\n

She stopped, pulling on the nurse\u2019s hand. They were near the beginning of the Puente de las Delicias. Dozens of soldiers and engineers were busily working with machines to remove debris and place a new temporary bridge over the ruins of the old one. The nurse looked at her questioningly.<\/p>\r\n

\u2018Why do you do this?\u2019 The words came out of Marta\u2019s mouth without her realizing it.
\u2018Why do we do what?\u2019 She responded without understanding.
\u2018How can you be here helping us without losing your smile, your strength, your desire to fight?\u2019 Tears began to slide down her cheeks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The nurse looked at her compassionately and hugged her.<\/p>\r\n

\u2018Oh girl, that\u2019s human nature. It is our way of facing what has happened and hoping that we can all recover as soon as possible.\u2019
\u2018But you don\u2019t prefer to be with your family, I\u2019m sure you had a bad time too.\u2019
\u2018My little girl would want me to be here, doing exactly what I\u2019m doing. She was also a nurse, she wanted to follow in my footsteps. You remind me a lot of her,\u2019 she said, visibly emotional.
\u2018What happened?\u2019 She asked trembling, fearing the answer.
\u2018She\u2026 She passed away. The same night you were hurt. While she did what she knew how to do best and the happiest it made her. Serve people who needed it.\u2019
\u2018And despite loosing her, you are able to continue working, helping others. You are capable of smiling and encouraging others\u2026\u2019 Marta whispered almost to herself.
\u2018That\u2019s how it is. It\u2019s the only way I can keep my girl alive. Come on, let\u2019s continue, I\u2019m sure these army guys are going to raise a lot of dust now.\u2019 She reacted resolutely, resuming her pace while she pulled Marta\u2019s hand. \"\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A military excavator began to drag a pile of rubble while a huge bridge-extending truck began to roll out next to another that had already been placed over the river. Marta meekly followed the nurse while she did not stop thinking about the conversation they had had. She couldn\u2019t understand it but suddenly, she felt that something inside her had just changed. A sensation like she had never experienced before. It was pure admiration.<\/p>\r\n

She looked at the nurse and, for the first time, managed a shy smile. She returned one of her own and began to joke with her as they continued touring the extensive perimeter of the field hospital area. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4966,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_glsr_average":0,"_glsr_ranking":0,"_glsr_reviews":0},"volumen":[11],"ficha_tenica":[],"class_list":["post-8609","personaje","type-personaje","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","volumen-volumen-1"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMarta Rodriguez: The Change -
