Soap and Water
Thank you to Michael Hurley and the ninth letter team for including my short fiction in the summer online issue. The theme was invisibility. Here’s the opening from the editorial note:
With this theme, we asked our writers to show us what we cannot see, from the hidden lines that connect us to the secret walls that keep us separate. We asked our writers to find the ghosts that haunt the edges, and to capture them before they disappear. We asked not just to see, but to be made to believe. And so they did. And so, we do.
What then lies beneath, behind, below?
“Soap and Water” addresses invisibility from a service perspective.
