Through Devil's Gate

By Sydney Dudikoff

Belinda Zaragoza returns to her hometown of Dorado to tie all the loose strings from her past. With a master key she stole when she was a student, she enters the abandoned high school and opens her school locker to find that her yearbook is still there. She consumes a bottle of wine while looking through the yearbook and recalls unpleasant memories from the faded pictures. In an altered state, Belinda transports herself 40 years back in time when she was a bright but troubled 17-year old roaming the halls of Sugar Hill High School. Unbeknownst to anyone and even to herself, Belinda is a young woman on the edge who blurs the line between right and wrong, fantasy and reality. Despite she cannot come to terms with three things: the loss of her mother at a young age, her sister's mental instability, and the inequity of the power structure of school and society in general, she is a survivor. Attempting to find closure from a tormented past, Belinda reaches back into her past to find the what and the whom to help her accomplish a task in the near future. For Belinda, the past is never too far behind and realizes that sometimes, it is wiser to let it catch up even if just once.
