Abstract:
This thesis is a collection of short stories written over the course of eight months. Many
of these short stories involve close relationships – the kind that form between two people
– and the moments, often disconcerting, that define them. A particular afternoon, a
conversation, a way of looking, can signify a timespan, a relationship, much greater,
much more involved, and it is the author’s intention to portray a timespan of great length
in as small a space as possible.
