Pushcart Nomination for my story, "Three Girls"
Super excited that Barrelhouse Magazine nominated my story "Three Girls" for a Pushcart. If we're doing everything in threes, hopefully the third time's the charm for me! You can read the story online here:
"When they were twelve in the stairwell they didn’t kiss. It was not something she had considered then, and even as she daydreams about him now, gripping her shoulders from behind, penetrating her, in backyard tents, behind basement dryers, underneath his old sailboat comforter, she realizes that they should have run into the snow that night. If they did not think about it, the cold, they could get very far away."
