Shale is a book that has an assortment of flash fiction and poetry written by different authors. My favorite story was "An Empty Lot Across the Street" written by Susan Nash because she explored many life questions. She described many of the events in her life that led her to question life, which was very relatable. The book has a variety of different authors with different writing styles that readers can relate to.
