Mirage by Nadine Bauer and Jakob Lilja-Ruiz
Prelude: I like Chuck Klosterman. Okay, I like Chuck Klosterman A LOT. He’s an author and essayist whose work focuses on American pop culture. He has this rare skill of teetering the line between the reader believing he is truly passionate about the subjects he is writing about and the reader believing he is full of shit and is just being facetious. Ultimately, I think he cares, but the fact that I can’t conclude this with any degree of certainty is what makes his writing so advanced. I still...

Thank you for consuming me by Jess Licata and Afternoon Light by Austin J. Schofield
Prelude: Wow! The last time I wrote one of these things was February 2nd, 2022! I’m STILL HERE though. While it feels like I’ve spent the last 5 months sitting and staring at a wall, a lot has happened in that time. I went to Denver! I had a girlfriend and then I didn’t have a girlfriend. I took two trips to Los Angeles, California and ended both trips early. The first due to existential dread and the second because my liver got temporarily fucked up. Needless to say, I hate LA! I’ve been thr...

Isolation by Ella Morton
Prelude: Heading into my senior year of college, I decided I wanted to add an English major on to my useless Accounting and Marketing majors. Because of this I ended up in a class on William Shakespeare. During this class we read the play ‘Twelfth Night,’ and this is how I got introduced to the most important fictional character I have ever read about. Malvolio. The TLDR on Malvolio is he’s a steward of a wealthy lady named Olivia. He is both puritanical and sanctimonious. He takes himself to...

Nature's Canvas by Jenna Dixon
Prelude: This is fun. Over the holiday break when I was back at my childhood home I found my high school yearbook from senior year. I graduated from high school in 2012. I took a picture of the the passage I wrote which includes quotes and a small write up. I’d like to use this section to analyze my choices. Here is the passage from the yearbook (please note the passage was written in the fall of 2011):1. For this first quote, it’s not so much the quote that matters rather it’s the person it ...

Solitude by Monica Jalali
Prelude: There’s events that happened during my childhood that when they occurred I did not care about, but now decades later I do. When I was in elementary school for whatever reason one day they invited parents to come to class. My mother worked in the city and my father worked from home so my father came. They gave us a book along with a post it note and instructed the parents to write a message to their children on the post it note and stick it in the book. I recall this moment happening ...
