April Morn

I wrote this story during a workshop I conducted for the Northeast Texas Writers Organization, along with 24 students in my class. It portrays an Ozarks couple in trouble who are brought together again by tragedy, just as Spring is a sign of renewal and rebirth after the deadness of winter when all seems hopeless. I wanted to show how people, too, are part of the great cycles of this magnificent earth; how harmony emerges from chaos.
