Small Violence
()
About this ebook
Small Violence takes quick looks at violence through three flash fiction stories. The first story, The Fundamentals of Treating an Asthma Attack, is a 100-word story about the mishaps of being treated medically while being trans. The second, an experimental index story looking at the consequences of an affair gone wrong using the colors of the rainbow to look at the aftermath of the event. The third, and final, story is a slice of life view of bullying, as viewed by middle schooler Stephanie.
Allison Ballard
Allison Ballard is a creative writing student at Full Sail University and an avid supporter of the LGBT community through interviews and guest lectures on the subjects of sexual orientation and gender identity. In her spare time, she mentors young trans-women, cooks for the thrill, and can usually be found indulging in any medium that tells a story. After living in Spain, Germany and across the United States she has settled in Kansas City, Missouri with her cat, Grimlock.
