Short description

A collection of sixteen short stories that have been passed down from my father and mother. Some are true accounts about the history of my family, while others are strange, even frightening, and a few that will make you laugh. All of them happened in or around my native hometown of Rosita, Coahuila, Mx. Enjoy!
