I’m excited to announce I have a short story appearing in the latest edition of FOLIO – a literary magazine produced by American University in Washington, D.C. The theme for this edition is “Worlds in Flux,” and as the Note from Editors says, “nothing stays the same.”
I’d like to say I wrote “String Theory” with that in mind,
but the piece has its roots from a prompt from First Line magazine. To me, all
stories generally put characters into flux of some kind. The opening line
provided a female character with a background in playing the violin and with
limited parental supervision. The tale that evolved is about characters who had
their lives uprooted at young ages by exposure to sexual experiences, and years
later, are still recovering and reconciling the physical, emotional, and mental
consequences.
Below is the opening scene, along with a link where you can
purchase either a PDF or a print version of the magazine. I haven’t had a
chance yet to read through the rest, but I am sure, if you don’t end up liking
what I wrote, there’s a good chance something else will strike a chord. Plus,
it’s a great chance support a literary outlet.
