Dreaming in Cuban

was secretly terrified

believed that her nightstick was magic

thought that her shoes gave her power

carried pepper spray in her pocket

was holding a rag doll and mumbling

was sitting on her swing in a bathing suit

was singing a lullaby to herself in the bedroom

wrapped up dead fish in a box

wrapped up a dead fish in a box

made a cake out of mud

filled a piñata with raw eggs

baked cupcakes filled with jalapeños

his wife and daughter had left him

the secret police had tried to arrest him

his family had been killed in a bombing

he discovered that his wife was a spy

find his will

give the jewels to Pilar

listen for him a twilight

put flowers on his grave

was in danger of losing her brother

should have never left Felicia alone

needed to go to her mother

has hasted enough time in England

cried for her mom

fainted on the floor

threw the knife in to the river

ran screaming from the room

gathered seaweed in a bucket

was bitten by a shark

removed her pearl earrings

stepped on a stingray

left to go to sea the next day

bought a farm in the country

took her on a two week boat trip

moved her into his aunt's house

developed an eating disorder

became sick after eating Halloween candy

ate an entire lasagna

stuffed herself on Thanksgiving
