“Uneven Odds” by Marcus Konma

Submitted to Contest #45

The frigid cold bit at Rachel’s bare skin. The white of the world and the accompanying winds shoved her back, almost as if saying, You don’t belong here. Leave. She took another breath, another step forward. The cold invaded her body and the pressure of the blizzard drove into her. She found herself gasping for her next breath and was met with the same hostility.

“Turtle Island & The Little Girl Who Could” by Andirea Bowe

Submitted to Contest #45
