Fragments

Imaginative worlds come alive in the single paragraphs and short stories that comprise this original collection. "Thought Threads" are a creative take on everyday subjects. Readers are drawn into a student's final, emotionally conflicted moments of high school; the restless interactions of a puppy; and a mysterious, unknowable fox. "Longer than Thought Threads but shorter than the short stories" is a creative piece told from the narrative perspective of a reflective, somewhat clingy water bottle. In "Apologies," the author introduces a neurotic, obsessive narrator; this piece is the perfect introduction to her two short stories. One of these stories is about a desperate housewife and the other is about a seemingly benign neighbor who commits a terrible act. Both ripple with pathos and darkness.
