Master's Committee: 51Lf/;o Date 1 1 STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF A SHOTGUN Jill M. Alexander, M.A. Morehead State University, 20 I 0 .m-ofTh••• ~ {)Jr~lrr A woman is more than just her body, more than just her own heart and soul. She is the culmination of her experiences, she is her parents and siblings, her former lovers, her husband and children. A woman can be known, but not truly understood, until one gets to know the parts that make her. Like this collection of short stories, a woman is the product of years of work, love, labor, and many others who contribute to who she is and who she wants to be. She is strong and determined in the face of the dangers that stand before her. These stories tell the story of one woman through her childhood, her experiences, her lovers, her husband, and her child. All the characters in this collection are inspired by someone specific, except for our main character. She is the woman I imagine we all are at some point in our lives: at times a fool, at times wise, confused, in love, happy sad, seeking happiness and peace with her present and her past.

    Short Story Collection by Jacqueline Curry Table of contents Pedro, Saint Francis, and the Angel The Light Bearers Young Woman Trying To Sleep The Arrival The Tall Blonde Larry’s Ride Gutter Brood X The Sweet Life You Can Call Me Mo Losing Chloe Pedro, Saint Francis, and the Angel 1 My name is Pedro Francesco Perez. My mother named me after my father, who is strong as a bull and just as temperamental. From working on our farm in Guatemala, he carries a dusty, grassy, animal smell. His eyes are dark, like strong coffee, and sometimes he has popped blood vessels from the shrapnel of wood shavings when he chops wood. If he asked me to do something, like get a haircut or milk the cows at four in the morning, I jumped to it right away, no complaints, no questions. Si, Padre, si. When my father speaks, I do not say a word, only listen. He taught me that rule when I was three years old. Once when I was ten, he screamed so long and hard at me for spilling a bucket of milk that I peed my pants. When I was sixteen, I woke in my bed in the middle of the night with my back flaming with pain and my face pressed into a lake of tears. Under my pillow, I was gripping a gun. I sprang back and shoved it away. It was the same gun I carried when I traveled, stuffed into the back of my jeans, protection against gangs and banditos. At first I could not remember how the gun got into my hands.
