The Oasis
The desert is hot. I see mirages of water as I desperately search for food. After the World War of 2030, there was not much left on earth but dust. My ancestors have told stories - stories of a peaceful, bountiful world that was. I decide to stop my search to sit on the sand. I am exhausted from looking all day through the dust. I close my eyes and try to feel the earth. I can hear the wind and the chatter of the others in the background.

My Mother Always Said...
For as long as I can remember, I have loved to write. When I was a child, writing fiction stories was a way to escape reality and find myself in a new and magical place, away from the difficulties of growing up. Writing has been a way for me to find peace in an ever-changing world. Writing is a constant.

Creating a Zine
One of my favorite classes that I have ever taken in college was Contemporary Literature. I was lucky enough to take this class through Zoom in the worst part of the pandemic. The class was so fun and refreshing! We read and studied everything from Ghost World by Daniel Clowes to All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. For our final project, we did a "Zine," or magazine. The Zine was to contain each of the authors that we had covered in class and have at least 10 pages – but these were the only rules! The rest was left up to our creativity. I went to the craft store, grabbed my Fiskars, and began creating!
