The Gray Mare

In his ninety-something years Casimiro has been a sheriff, rancher and horseman; and he is coming to visit Ricardo and his grandmother. Ricardo is excited because Casimiro tells the best stories about the "old days." When Casimiro decides it is time to tell how; when he was a boy, he acquired his first horse, a gray mare - Ricardo goes so far as to stand up a date. Ricardo's dreams soon become unsettling and something is happening that he doesn't understand. Whether it's illness, a curse, or something that has lain dormant within him, the tale of Casimiro's gray mare takes Ricardo from the late 1800s to the mid 1970s - and beyond.
