Abstract
Herein contains a collection of my thesis work, consisting of short stories. Each story was written and revised during my time with the University of Tampa MFA in Creative Writing program. As an artist, I seek to explore the impulses and sensations of which I am most ashamed. As a writer and a student, I aim to craft this shame into prose fiction. “Asbestos” symbolizes a universally acknowledged evil that was once a perfectly viable commodity. There exist many asbestoses. The obvious evils are horrifying, but even more so are the subtle asbestoses that lead to the metastasis of moral destruction.
