Phastraq
Some wishes come true. Others come to collect.
In 1963 Trinidad, Priya Sookoo is the kind of child other parents envy - bright, beautiful, and mysteriously untouched by illness. But on her thirteenth birthday, she collapses without warning, and no doctor can explain the strange black growth spreading across her skin.
As her parents keep vigil in the hospital, a well-dressed stranger appears. No one else seems to notice him, yet he seems to know far too much about Priya's condition - and about them.
Time is running out, and the price for saving her may be more than either parent is willing to pay.
