This story came to me after my aunt passed a few years ago and I became obsessed with a very bad, very violent tv show about drug cartels. It’s about grief and how we distract ourselves from it. Thank you to @SouthernHReview for giving it a home! https://t.co/LMuBuEdjKm

I wrote this story after a crazy and humbling year teaching in Peru. Thrilled that it found a home in @nashvillereview! Read if you like dancing in discotecas 💃🏽 and drinking on curbs 🍻

The physics was the unique edge. Sitting quite at the centre of the plot, it gave meaning to everything. Brilliant writing, this!

From Issue 26:

"I started watching The Bachelor during Nick Viall’s season. Nick had curly brown hair and an upper lip that reminded me of a gopher."
