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.
The Final Portrait
As a military junta closes in, a young painter races to finish a portrait that may do more than capture a face—it may capture a soul. The Final Portrait is a tense, magical-realist political thriller about art as resistance, the legacy of grief, and the deadly power hidden in a pair of painted eyes.
