Divine Madness
“I had thought that maternal-connector nerve severed, my mind made up about her and therefore no reason to feel pain at the thought of her escaping from a life of slavery. After all, I barely knew her and had no real bond, no reason to care beyond basic human decency, and I had less and less of that all the time. But somehow I did care. I also had questions bubbling back to the surface of my consciousness. Stupid, bitter questions about why and how she had ended up as a vampire. I’ve read up on ...the Aztec birth rituals once, the ones that invoked the gods. It made me wonder: Did Mamita, in her delirium, accidentally conjure S.M. to save herself? Or maybe by attempting a Christian baptism of her infant so I would not die in sin and end up in Limbo, and that was how her blood got in the water? The later seemed more likely. I couldn’t picture her accidentally murmuring the conjuring ritual— Come, O god, to see my child, come into the world of too much heat and cold and wind. I give his blood for the sun to drink and may this water carry away all stain and make this child worthy.MoreLess
