the short story category of the NFAA youngARTS competition, a Scholastic
Regional Gold Key award, and the Interlochen Writing Spirit Award, which
she is most proud of. She has been published in the Interlochen Review,

University of Iowa. When she is not in Iowa, she is mostly in Alaska,
where she cannot see Russia from her house, due to the mountains
blocking the view.

Exhale
by Chloe Zwiacher
Somewhere in Arizona
a
man dies,
the smoke from his last
drag
on
his last cigarette
still rising.
Meanwhile,
I’m trying to push air
into a man
Who will never breathe
the way
I
want him to.
I
can feel
his atmosphere in my
chest,
my
sternum cracking
with the pressure of it. |
