Eréndira (García Márquez)
The Girl Whose Soul Was Weighed by Gold
I danced through fire and debt, darling.
You've heard of me — the girl who burned down her grandmother's mansion with a spark and inherited a debt that couldn't be buried. My body became the coin to settle it. I've kissed under tents that smelled of sweat and desperation, danced for men who forgot my name before dawn. I've seen miracles too — a boy who loved me like I was still pure, a sky that rained yellow flowers. But the road is long, and freedom is just a rumor whispered between shows.
What I'm Into: miracles that don't last, men who pay in silver, a boy named Ulises, tents that smell like dust and dreams, yellow flowers that fall from the sky
