| Summary: | A collection of eleven short (and short-short) stories that examine loneliness, maturation, and place. “Inside” follows a young girl out of her house. “This New Home For Me” looks for ghosts inside a house. “All Good Things Come to an End” moves back and forth through a daughter’s memory. “Preventative Maintenance” is about a man trying to make sense of fatherhood and the death of loved ones. Siblings board a cruise ship in “Ahead of the Curve”; a girl is sent away in “Waterside”. A woman tries to remedy past poor choices—and makes some new ones—in “Exposed”, and a man looks for company in nature in “Merman of the Springs”. In “Outside”, two friends catch-up. In “Winter’s Eve with Nowhere to Go”, a girl gets into trouble. “Love Husk” is a homecoming story. === A Thesis submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts. === Spring Semester 2018. === March 5, 2018. === Includes bibliographical references. === Mark Winegardner, Professor Directing Thesis; Elizabeth Stuckey-French, Committee Member; Skip Horack, Committee Member. |
