One of my oldest short stories is now available in Epiphany Magazine‘s online literary journal. The original version of this story was written in the summer following my first fiction writing class at Iowa State University. It’s been through a couple of versions since then. I think it was waiting for me to grow up. Much like William David Bates, I had to experience loss to really understand what we have, how fragile it is, and how to move on when you’ve lost it.
