Sometimes it's not the music you remember, but the silence that follows when someone disappears. Like in this story inspired by the famous urban legend of the woman in white. The Cinco de Mayo parade was louder than ever. Drums crack like thunder, trumpets slice through the spring air.

Vendors shouted over one another, selling agua frescas, roasted corn, and neon toys that lit up like firecrackers in the dusk. I wasn't even supposed to be there. I was just tagging along with my friend Maya, her cousins, and her little brother Nico. I like parades the way I liked haunted houses. Fun in theory, but I never fully trusted the crowd.

Too many shadows, too many places to vanish into without a sound. We were posted near the riverbank, not far from where the floats looped around. A perfect view, Maya said. She was all glitter and flag stickers, filming every second for her story. Nico sat on the curb, slurping a mango palita. He was maybe nine, stubborn, sweet, and too curious for his own good.

Everything was noise and movement, a blur of color and sound, until the moment the crowd seemed too thin and the light shifted just slightly. That's when I saw her. A woman in white. Not costume white. Not mariachi white. Old-fashioned, tattered white. She stood apart from the crowd barefoot on the other side of the street.

Her hair was long, dark, and matted, like she'd been walking for miles through a rainstorm no one else had noticed. Her head was bowed. Her hands clutched her face like she was sobbing. She looked so out of place, too still, too cold, and no one else seemed to notice her. I opened Maya. Do you see her? That woman right there? Maya turned, scanned the street, and frowned.

"'There's no one there,' she said. I looked again. Gone. I told myself I imagined it. The music, the lights, the sugar rush from the elote. Maybe it had scrambled something in my brain. But even as I laughed it off, a chill climbed up my spine, and I curled behind my ribs like a warning. And then Nico disappeared. One second, he was on there. The next, he was just gone."
