“A Secret Place” by Izzy Bavaro

Submitted to Contest #79

The Charleston family comes from very old money. They have dirtied their hands with destruction of lands and communities over the last hundred—or take a few decades.

Author bio

I’m a fourth year English major with a minor in political science. My dream job is to become a Professor of the History of Literature, and eventually go into political advising. My prose is at it’s strongest in my poetry, but I decided to hop on this website and try out short stories. I am brand spanking new to writing fiction and writing with dialogue, but I’m excited to try more! Thank you for reading my stories because this is the first time I’ve published my writing. My goal is to have my readers feel like they are the characters I create, everyone deserves to feel like the main character! Please, feel free to comment on any of my stories for edits as well, but I will keep “everyone’s a critic” in mind 😉
