Lune’s mother cannot stop crying after all the hospitals shut down.
She cries and cries and finally she is exiled to the cenote, where her tears endlessly fill the giant sink hole. She becomes a big tourist attraction. People come from miles to see Marcrina cry into the cenote— part prisoner, part carnival attraction, part saint, Marcrina’s story is one of heartbreak, love, and endurance. This is the story of Lune, of Marcrina, of Lune’s son Nico, and of a strange place called Cenote City, where the world of magic and the dead entwines with daily life in enchanting and unsettling ways.
Monique Quintana is the author of the novella Cenote City (CLASH Books 2019). Her short works have been nominated for Best of the Net, Best Microfiction, and the Pushcart Prize.
