A Scary Request is one of many short stories that have spun from Cindy Davis’ novel Zipacna’s Legacy.
As an author and psychic, she strives to help adults connect with this sometimes-confusing always fast-paced world. As children, we often have questions our elders cannot answer. We wonder about the person in the corner of the bedroom that no one else can see. Or why something we dream about comes true a day or so later.
These aren’t things to fear. They are normal. They are part of your awakening. In this story:
Jade meets Grampa Zipacna for the first time. He is imposing and powerful, but the five-year-old is inexplicably drawn to him. He asks her to do something he says is important. It’s something new and scary. But she trusts him and, although reluctant, does as he asks. It isn’t until many years later that she realizes the importance of this event. With that realization comes the dawn of a wonderful new life.
