Excerpt from the Essay in the book by Aubrey Mejia-
The incessant mechanical whirring. The rhythmic clicking of machinery turned off and on. The cold and clinical air and the faint scent of disinfectant. A small, plastic cup of freshly
cubed watermelons.
In September and October of the year 2020, fires, carried by the Santa Ana winds, swept over and ravaged the California hillsides during record breaking heatwaves.
Meanwhile, a global pandemic kept millions of citizens around the world locked in their homes. Alongside this, Andrew
Alcasid sat in his own kind of isolation in the Bone Marrow Transplant unit at the Jacobs
Medical Center at the University of California, San
Diego.
