Excerpt:
Entry added August 2012 to the Guzmán-Gonzales family journal by Cassandra Luisa Gonzales.
When
I finally broke down last week and told Nana about the dream I've been
having since the accident, she didn't say a word. All she did was hand
me this journal. I've read it a hundred times and most of it still
doesn't make sense. It can't. I'd rather be crazy than believe that the
gorgeous stranger starring in my increasingly dirty dreams is some
reincarnated Mayan hero.
What started as a passionate romp in my
sleep with a hunky stranger has become something much more terrifying.
Don't get me wrong--they're wonderful, erotic dreams. I've never found
so much pleasure and passion in any man's arms before. But each dream is
stronger and more detailed than the last. He claims the magic is mine,
that each time I dream him I'm binding him more fully to my world.
To me.
He's not real.
So
I kept telling myself. Until this morning when I woke up with a few
token bruises and scuff marks from his enthusiastic lovemaking. Either I
really am losing my mind and have started to hurt myself in my
sleep--including bite marks on my neck--or Nana's journal isn't a bunch
of myths. Myths I started to dream before I ever read them in these ancient pages so painstakingly copied generation after generation.
Now
I find myself continuing the family tradition by adding pages to this
journal, both to keep my sanity and as a warning. This is what happens
when you lose your grip on reality. When you begin to fall in love with a
man you've only known in dreams. When you become so desperate for the
truth that you're willing to leave behind everything to find him.
There's
only one way to find out if I'm as crazy as I fear, or if there's a
kernel of truth to these legends. I've decided to go to Guatemala and
find out. I'm going to find Nana's family. I'm going to talk to some of
the people who were raised on the legends in her journal.
Even more importantly, I'm going to walk the ground where Técun Úman, the legend himself, supposedly lived and breathed.
And died.
Then maybe he'll leave me the fuck alone.
Oh,
don't worry about me too much. I'm taking my best friend Natalie along
for the ride. She's ordered me to enjoy this desperate crusade as a vacation. Even if she has to commit me to an insane asylum before we fly home, we'll start out by having a good time.
