Sometimes the hardest secrets to keep are those of most consequence.
Write a secret you'd like to share with Suyen. Burn it and poof: Suyen will pull it into the afterlife forever.
It is gone. You will not remember it.
Tanya cannot keep a secret. The compulsion has burned inside her since childhood and has cost her every relationship she's had, most recently her engagement. Her new therapist calls it a rare gift and offers an unconventional treatment: a knife, a black candle, and an invitation to sink deeper. Tanya awakens into a dinner party where a Nicaraguan folk ritual requires everyone to give up their darkest secret, leaving no memory of ever having carried it. The forgetting is the easy part.
