Awarded 2nd place from Stockton Arts Commission for Fiction

My short story, "Simple Girl" won the second place prize from the Stockton Arts Commission. Last year, I won the first place prize for "Buried Memories". "Simple Girl" is the story of a young woman who is constantly referred to as "simple" by the rest of the town where she lives, whereas in the end it is realized that it is her simplicity that manages to set her apart from everyone else. "Buried Memories" was about a man reliving the events of why his wife has finally forgiven him for what appears to have been an affair, told backwards in time, until you discover she has forgiven her memory of him, having watched him die twenty years ago.
