I am so proud that a story I wrote called “The Fall” was accepted to an online literary Journal. The piece appears in the Fall 2020, issue 6.3 themed Empty/Enough. This is a longer story, 1933 words, which meant I was able to go into more depth about the subject matter. I take you into a moment in my life which illustrates what it is like to live with the knowledge that my future includes suffering from a rare genetic disease. I’ve posted the first paragraph below. If you would like to read the whole story the journal is availble for purchase online ($7 USD). Thank you as always for reading my work. I truely appreciate your support.
