Darkness, or blackness, is the state of being dark, or the absence of light. In our world, it is associated with the strange, the unusual-the horrific, the evil that coexists in our universe.
In our existence, it manifests itself in many forms, in many ways, in many places.It lurks, hidden among us;
it exists in plain sight. There is no avoiding it: the darkness comes from anywhere, and comes at any time. It can twist reality, and it can twist our minds.
From Juan Batista, the pen name of a professor of American Indian and Latin American history, comes the first of a series of Indigenous Mexican Latino-Indian Tribal-Centered alternate histories.
A bumbling Texas governor flirts with secession. Far right militias flock to his call and prepare for violence to bring about independence. A backlash from Indigenous Mexicans in Texas calls for the Aztlan Now movement, Mexicans wanting to secede FROM Texas and stay loyal to the US. Militias, Brown Power people, prison gangs, police, and FBI all clash. From this conflict comes new Mexican-majority states loyal to the US and the ruined remains feebly clutching to the myth of Texas independence.
