The Blood Splattered Dress Gonzalo Martinez III

The village of Credo is surrounded by ocean and tumultuous winds. On the night of the first wedding held in the adolescent village, an event occurred that changed friends, Violeta and Aldo's lives forever. Told in Violeta's own words as she waited for death years later, she recounts the memory of that night to her husband and her daughter, in hopes of finding clarity and peace. Told in the magical realism style, The Blood Splattered Dress asks how much would you sacrifice for those that you love, is the burden of carrying a secret so big worth losing your sanity over, and can you ever truly be the same after a life changing incident?
