very very good starter!! I really like this. The last bit makes you want to know more, so it should be a great start for the challenge.

oh wow, you really did kick it off quite nicely! i love the conversation between mother and daughter with mixed spanish and english, that’s always beautiful. i really want to see how this turns out.

AnaChristina… The BEST Ficlet you’ve written to date… Should be featured ficlet.

Thank you for the kind comments. I speak both English and Spanish fluently, living as a Cuban-American in Miami, so speaking in “Spanglish” comes naturally to me. ;-)

Very nicely done – just a happy mom/child moment and then a hint of darkness. Superb.
