The Maravillas de Madera Circus attracts many because my Abuela can hear them.

She uses that ability to read palms and tarot cards.

The spirits that stay behind have usually have two motives. Spending time watching over the family they lost or hurting the living they despise.

The women in my line bear the responsibility to communicate with them. It is a gift passed from mother to daughter when we are of age to be trained.

It is now my time and I am scared. Because I have seen what it does to my Abuela, she is one of the strongest.

Soon Abuela will give her magic to me.

But I do not think she is ready to let it go.
