Abstract

Nolan, a 28-year old barista, stuck in a world of incomplete moments, finds a new beginning in Brodie. Though a new friendship easily develops between the two, they find a much closer companionship when an accident turns into passion. Nolan is thrilled about the prospect of moving forward in life, but a serious question causes him to think. He may still be stuck in the past. Change is a short story that explores the idea that one small act can both prohibit and enable a person to move forward in life.

Description

I would like to thank Dr. Katherine Schmidt for being an excellent mentor throughout this process, my parents and sister for always supporting me through any endeavor I take on, and Chris to whom I can't express enough gratitude for all that he does for me. Also I would like to thank the late Flannery O'Connor for the following quote, which was the inspiration for this short story:
"...grace changes us and the change is painful."
― Flannery O'Connor, The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O'Connor
