Caracosa Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 * Avila Zavala wanders the barrio, taking pictures, trying to see beauty in the place she once wanted to escape so badly. The camera was a gift from her first real friend, a friend who has already escaped Rancho, who escaped for the same reasons Avila's mother escaped. There are safer places than the Southside, prettier places, places you can raise a family. But there is no escaping for Avila. Everyone else can leave, but she will stay behind. They can leave in airplanes and boats, they can leave in handcuffs, they can leave in ambulances and coffins. But she's given pieces of herself away, and now she has to wait for them to return. When they do, she will be here. 3 1 8 Link to comment
