An ancient ritual might heal you of anything--if you bury yourself alive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese and other scenarios investigate the ways that the outlandish and the ordinary are shockingly, deceptively, heartbreakingly alike.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLing Ma\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer hailing from Fujian, Utah, and Kansas.
