Washed Out Memories
At 12 years-old, I wrote a tale about a family curse that led me to flee Mexico trying to avoid
it, only to find it followed me. A decade later, I return to Mexico with my grandmother and
my imaginary childhood friend, seeking the origin of the curse that led my family down the
path of domestic violence. Including my grandmother witnessing her mother’s death, my
mother’s violent childhood, and my own abusive relationship.
