This was another English assignment, but one I wrote fully intending to outlast the prompt. I may
rewrite it as a novella. The only limits on that assignment, though, were that it be under five
pages when double-spaced and address the theme of “change”, the latter of which I did with
zeal and the former I worked hard to comply with. Thus this piece, a bit compressed for my liking
and a top candidate for rewriting once I have the time. For now this is my short story (submitted
to a major state short story contest; I will tell you if I place), a response to both that prompt and
also the heavily divided state of my American nation.
