myths might have. Well, I used to say our troops long forgotten by the world, which is probably why she collected them the way some people collect stamps or mugs of pictures of kittens on them. She gathered tales of enormous horned snake like sea creatures of two headed vampire dogs of glowing red eyes of terrifying man eating ghouls that stock the night searching for naughty Children to kidnap. The myths came from all over the Spanish speaking world, from Madrid Taquito, Mexico City to Buenos itis. Most of them were hundreds of years old, almost as old as the cultures that had inspired them. Some had spread quickly around the globe, spread like wildfire. Others never even left the tiny rural towns where they had first been told all her life. My grandma had been obsessed with Hispanic mythology with all the legends and stories and folklore, and had spent years teaching them to me when I was little. We usedto hang out in the kitchen on lazy Saturday afternoons. Me and my Power Rangers PJs in. Chiang played us my abuela, telling her favorite tales from memory, making the epic battles and ghoulish monsters come to life with every gesture of her brown and wrinkled hands.

We played this little game, sort of like Pictionary, which she draw a quick sketch of one of the characters, and I would have to guess who or, in most cases, what it waas. If I got four in a row, she'd let me eat electrical men. Sava right out of the can, which might have been the only thing I enjoyed more than listening to her stories. At the time, I thought it was all just for fun, a cool little game between the two of us, but I should have known better. My abuela hated party games.
