Where Am I? Sitka Story Lab Student Anthology
The Island Institute's Sitka Story Lab program released this new book of Southeast Alaskan student writing in May 2016. Called Where Am I?: Stories of Strange Landscapes, Wrong Turns, and New Worlds, the anthology features fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and zany creative experiments that convey the disorientation and the discovery that young people experience, from being in the wilderness to simply growing up. The young writers come from Sitka, Hoonah, Haines, Wrangell, and Skagway, and are as young as nine years old and as old as eighteen. "The writing ranges from fantastic and playful to emotionally moving and dark," said Story Lab Coordinator Sarah Swong. "I'm impressed at how creative and varied these writings are, and at how open students were to feedback and improving their work." The project offered students the chance to write a piece for publication and to hone their writing with an editor.

Illuminati Theories<br />

Ocean Currents<br />
Surface currents: global wind patterns, Coriolis effect, and continental<br />
defliction<br />
Deep currents: temperature, salinity, and density<br />
2 currents, 6 reasons. 6 divided by 2 is 3. What do these numbers<br />
have to do with the Illuminati?Well, I do not know, but I do know<br />
how to find out. What evil shape has three sides? That’s right!<br />
A triangle. This isn’t enough evidence though because we need a<br />
cricle to make the eye. But wait, if you look at a map of the ocean<br />
currents they can look like circles. Now we have our circle. Ocean<br />
currents are Illuminati confirmed.<br />
Starfish<br />
Starfish have five arms. There are two syllables in starfish. Five<br />
minus two is three. We still need our circle, though. How many<br />
mouths do starfish have? Correct, one mouth. Starfish are Illuminati<br />
confirmed.<br />
