Bruja

Wendy C. Ortiz

“I drove a black truck to visit Olympia. I had cats with me. I parked outside the garage of the first place I ever mud- wrestled and when I opened the door of the truck, the cats kind of spilled out. The cats weren’t mine and I panicked. After unloading some containers of spoiled food (pasta, fruit, lentils), a bunch of cats caroused all around my feet. I was overwhelmed trying to figure out which one was the one I was missing.”
