Mateo looked up at the infinite staircase, at the light pouring from the unseen top. “I need to save my mother.” He placed his foot on the obsidian step

Mateo hesitated. The stone in his hand pulsed with a faint, feverish heat. He thought of his mother’s face before the machines—how she’d laughed when he fell learning to ride a bike, how she’d held him after nightmares. How she’d whispered, “Mi cielo, my sky.” His dead father’s laugh

His flashlight cut a trembling cone through the ferns and lianas, and the stone grew warm in his sweaty palm. He’d expected ruins, maybe a mossy pyramid. Instead, he found a single step.
