Abstract
“Liminal Space, A Collection of Short Stories” examines liminality, the in-between space that individuals encounter during a time of transition. The protagonists experience transformation, physically, mentally, or spiritually. In “Baptism, the protagonist transitions from being an observer of life to a participant. “Singed” examines the protagonist’s struggle with identity. “The Classroom,” a non-fiction piece, examines the experience of the protagonist as she discovers the independence of adolescence and encounters an adult world that challenges her sense of security. In “October 5th,” another piece of non-fiction, the protagonist struggles with the grieving process and finding closure. Both non-fiction pieces examine the effects of memory.
