Black Cadillac

In this story from Milena Solot's manuscript A Possible Place, the recently named matron of a successful whorehouse in Mexico City walks into the car with her driver, Claudio, after the funeral of her father. As they drive through town and the scenery changes, Claudio remembers fragments of their life growing up together in the whorehouse and under the vigilance of “father.” Part of a series of interconnected short stories that deal with the plight of Honduran migrants and their journeys through Mexico, most of the characters come from the city of San Pedro Sula, and they are either running away from the Mara Salvatruchas or have lost their families at the hands of this gang
