SHORT STORY - 6,000 words - Joe Martin lived a precarious existence In Central America, torn between past Peace Corps dreams of his late wife, and the promise of a much younger young woman student. The political dangers of the country bring violence to the small village of San Balboa, including the growing enmity of the police commisioner Horba, who is determined to expell Martin and all Americans. Can Joe meet the challenge and risk of loving Maria, or will he remain chained to the spirit of his wife, who communicates with him on a rustic lookout over the valley.
