I am an aspiring pediatrician. I grew up in St. Louis, attended undergrad at Washington University in St. Louis, and completed medical school at Tulane University. I speak Spanish (but am an unmistakable gringo) and have traveled to several Latin American countries. My only venture across the Atlantic was to Malawi for work with a peanut butter research project. A little OCD at heart as many medical professionals are, New Orleans has mellowed me out, and the kid in me loves the creativity, fun, self-expression, and challenge in Capoeira (a Brazilian martial arts) that I do whenever I can. I love writing stories about people, places, and experiences that have struck me in order to help process complex emotions and to share with others that which makes me me.




Quemaduras

Published by Gregg Kennedy

Closing his eyes, he reaches out his hand and feels. He feels the texture, the rise and fall of the terrain, lines criss-crossing at various angles and various thickness. It is like bark, he thinks, of a small tree. The surface has no discernible pattern. It is not smooth yet the undulations are certainly not bumps; they are more like ridges. He wonders at its softness, its warmth, and he passes his fingers over it until his palm comes into contact as well, his whole hand now feeling, touching.
