Abstract
The following is a collection of short fiction pieces written from August 2015 to January 2017, when the author was a student at the Center for Writers at the University of Southern Mississippi. The stories are unlinked in narrative, but are often approaching similar issues in depth: loneliness, identity, seeking love, growing up, and redefining home. These stories wonder about the different paths life can afford us and take the time to understand each one.
