MFA Alum Madison Garber Publishes Story in The Adroit Journal

Congratulations to MFA Alum Madison Garber on publication of a short story, "A Memento for the Moment" in The Adriot Journal Issue 49.

An excerpt from "A Memento for the Moment":

Just after 9 AM, Jack, the thirty-something tow truck driver I’ll come to think of as a godsend, leads my boyfriend and me to the dumpster that holds all our possessions, which we’d packed onto a moving truck three weeks ago in South Florida. Jack’s got kind eyes beneath the bill of his trucker cap, and he addresses me with a well-worn Texas ma’am even though right now I feel far younger than my 27 years, bracing myself for a sight I’d already seen in photos. Yesterday, I cried when I saw the snapshots the moving company sent, the boxes I spent weeks carefully packing sent flying, crushed by furniture, dented by shrapnel, and then left mangled with the totaled semi somewhere by the highway. The truck was abandoned there for two days before the sheriff called Jack to collect the remains and bring them here, to a rural tow yard in Bastrop, Texas.. [ . . . ]
