Quetzaltepec (written 2017)
The boys were handed 15 yards of braided polypropylene rope, a serrated knife, dried meat, and plátanos secos carefully wrapped in a woman’s headscarf. As Elio packed these items into his small military-issued backpack, Omar and the troop leader stood silently. Words were not exchanged; words were not needed. The only thing being traded at a higher value than words that summer were MP5s – and plane tickets. Either way, the Asociación of Salvadoran Boy Scouts had nonexpendable
