AUTHOR’S NOTE

Image courtesy of the author.

My great-grandmother grew up in Hidalgo during the time of the Revolution. On one occasion she claimed that a lion slipped out of a circus train and roamed the countryside. She said it was eventually killed and she stuffed it. I did not get to see any of the taxidermied animals she worked on. Everything was long gone by the time I was a child. The photo here shows my grandmother, not my great-grandmother, with an eagle.

After the war ended, my great-grandmother went to work in the city as a maid. She did not attend school and was illiterate. She is the reason I’m a writer.
