Luna laughed nervously. She was a rational biologist, in Oaxaca to study bat migration patterns, not to believe in spirit animals. But the book fell open to a page depicting a hummingbird—iridescent green, suspended mid-flight. As she traced the illustration, a low hum filled the room. Not from the street.
