I am Esperanza. I am 13 years old. My family owns this beautiful house, El Rancho de las Rosas.
I am Miguel. I am 16 years old. I am a servant at this beautiful house, El Rancho de las Rosas.
I am in the courtyard in the dark of night. The ranch is on re! I watch the ames, like long curved fingers reaching for the horizon, lighting the night sky.
I’m confused. This cannot be real. I mu be ill dreaming. Has my own imagination has gone wild?
Where is the family? I see Esperanza and Ramona, but where is Abuelita?
I see sparks from the house float on the wind toward the ables and elds. The re is spreading.
