This story was published today in After/Thought Literary. it is a story that is dear to me. It takes place on a picnic bench two blocks from my daughter’s house during wildfire season.
Wildfire smoke certainly changed the dynamics of our daughter’s wedding. I thought about her often as I worked this story.
But the story has nothing to do with the wedding. It has more to do with the angst in the world.
Be kind to each other








I would love to hear you opinion as well
