My Castle in Spain

While they lay there holding hands, Ambio told Serena what happened. When the fog finally lifted after the sun came out, I thought I was going to burn up. I was so thirsty that I was tempted to drink the seawater, but I knew it would kill me. And then I prayed, saying, We were born together, please let us die together.” Ambio then went on to say, I drifted all that day without a cloud in sight. All I could think of was that you were getting burned up like myself.” I wish,” said Serena, that I’d had the misfortune not to have been picked up by those fishermen. It would have saved me from a living hell. I did not get burned up like you, but if hell is anything like I went through, I sure do not want to go there.”Matson, John is the author of 'My Castle in Spain', published 2007 under ISBN 9780595432875 and ISBN 0595432875.
