"And the Light"

Cover Artwork by Jason Katzenstein

Brooklyn based writer, Monica Wendel, is always inspired by the events in her life. Finally able to break out with a piece of fiction, Wendel presents "And the Light." The short story has already been recognized and featured in Amazon's Day One Journal. This gripping literature recalls Greek mythology and the story of Persephone, whom was kidnapped by her Uncle. With a young girl's disappearance, Ms Wendel is able to address both current social and political forces, juxtaposing ancient myths with present day affairs. Realistic, yet fantastical, "And the Light" is an entertaining work which will make you think of the mundane happenings of everyday life that might not actually be so mundane...
