We all recall our first crush, our first love. There is nothing sweeter than such a whirlwind romance as found in the young heart. Photos capture how agonizing waiting for the call of your sweet lover can be delicious agony. Short stories tease the heart with quivering anticipation. Poetry plays the mind like a harp, plucking only the sweetest of melodies. Waiting is a collection that reminds us all what it once felt like to be young and brash.This collection features photos by photographer Bryan Thompson of Graffiti Photographic. Short stories and poems written by Little Alice bring back memories of the saccharine joy of young love.
Start at the beginning, and when you come to the end, stop.” –Mad Hatter from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
