In which a Latina Oxford-taught video game
enthusiast is never where she is supposed to be.

When Maya García's occult ability to sense things
underground is internationally spotlighted with
a big archaeological project in Mexico,
she suddenly senses something that she shouldn't
—something ancient, but something that might
answer her questions.

⍾

This novella is based on prompt 54
of the open novella contest 2020.
