Microfiction: Part I: Meet Kelsey
She bounces off the school bus, hair flying in the wind, legs shuffling up dirt behind her swirly body.
Kelsey is a 14-year-old athletic ball of energy who recently discovered she is adopted.
Her mother tried to tell her subtly for years, but Kelsey has always been enamored by fanfare and elaborate explanations. She searched for answers and found them.
As she skips down Tulane Dr., the sky smiles at her, the sun whistles, and cars honk their incessantly abusive horns.
She is heading home to nowhere, where no one is family.
