Maldito

Maldito... accursed child or the fulfillment
of an ancient Mayan prophecy? The 13th child of parents who were the 13th children for 13 generations, Maldito is considered cursed by his mother, Eufemia, to the point that she actually names him Accursed. Still bearing the terrible scars of his own early life and distrustful of everyone, his father can do nothing for him. How does a child survive a loveless home, bereft of care and any but the most basic interactions? Come along. Maybe you will care. Maybe you can help Maldito as he tries to make his way. If you've enjoyed the works of Gabriel García Márquez and Isabel Allende, you'll enjoy these Stories from the Cantina.
