A Dawning
Cristina Sandoval is a photographer by day and reader by night. When she is not doing either, she is probably playing fetch with her dog or binge watching a series in her bed. She is currently in her second year of graduate school at MSU Texas, majoring in English with the hopes of working for a publishing firm in the future. You can find her other photography work on her Instagram @cas1_photo and direct message her for bookings and questions.
Such is Nature’s Way
by Samuel Marshall
Imagining in thirty years, I might not have heard your voice for 29 of them. You are alive now, but that day will come. I will rely on fractured recordings to capture the voice that raised me. I try not to think about it yet it is all I think about. That day will come, that day will come. When, the last time you said “I love you, son” will indeed be the last time. And I will be forced to hold onto it as long as my memory permits. This is nature’s way but it doesn't make it any easier.
