KN Magazine: Short Stories
Sisters
Set in an Italian immigrant household in 1920s Newark, “Sisters” explores the volatile bond between two adolescent sisters shaped by beauty, jealousy, longing, and survival. As desire, shame, and power collide during a single summer day, the family’s fragile equilibrium fractures, revealing how love and rivalry can turn irrevocably destructive within the confines of tradition, patriarchy, and poverty.
CONFESSION
A haunting epistolary short story in which a woman finally reveals the truth about the 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake, the child she lost, and the new identity she forged to survive. A confession of grief, reinvention, and the fragile boundary between the past we flee and the past that shapes us.
