It's Abstract!

by Angelique Arrowood, Haley E. Barnett, Bryce S. Calain

You can’t catch love in a bucket. You can’t point to a picture of humor. You can’t show someone what grief and loss and loneliness look like. None of those things exist on their own terms, with their own physical forms and shapes. But they can be experienced. Can be lived. Can be felt. And sometimes, the only way we know how to communicate those feelings and abstract ideas is through the magic of storytelling.

You hold in your hands the second anthology from the UCHS Creative Writing Club—a collection of short stories from nine authors that explore these themes and ideas in the context of humanity, in all its beauty—and all its messiness. Adventures abound in this genre-defying collection, which will appeal to fans of sci-fi, fantasy, realistic fiction, romance, horror, mystery thrillers, and more.

Dive into the next chapter in the UCHS Creative Writing story, and find out which abstract ideas, concepts, and emotions appeal to you most.

I'm obviously pretty biased here, but I love these kids. I love being a part of this endeavor each year. I love that our school has this outlet for the joy of writing. This book was a challenge to put together, but it was so worth it. I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed creating it for you! There's a little something for all kinds of readers in here!
