Explorations From My Writing Lab

A Perfect Storm of Summer

Micro-fiction

A collage of reds, golds, and blues. Collage includes a red transparent fish, a black and white images of a child and adult’s legs, a magazine image of a small child running into the ocean, hexagon cut outs, a stamped image of the sun and the words “A Perfect Storm” and “Let me tell you a story.” — Collage on an index card, Image by Gina Kimmel

She held out her hand, hoping to pull me from my stupor.
