The world upside-down and the two halves of the moon

By Venus Soberanes

Darkness. Water. Blue and exploding like the beginning of the cosmos or the deepest ocean. In the darkness I grow. My iridescent body expands and transforms by the second, by the fraction of a second, becoming something out of the almost nothingness that created me.Lucia, my mother, knows I am here; she can feel it with her whole being. She can feel my body growing, expanding, and she can see it projected on the inside of her eyelids when her eyes are closed. When she closes her eyes she sees a darkness, and in the darkness she sees the iridescent particles that are forming my little body that soon won't be so little. A beautifully poetic magical realism story of creation related from the point of view of an unborn child. Surreal and elegantly written, it narrates the love story of two Latino immigrants living in Vancouver, Canada.
