Abstract
This thesis is a collection of works written and rewritten over the course of my time in the University of Missouri-Kansas City’s Master of Fine Arts Creative writing program. It includes short stories, nonfiction essays, and an excerpt from a novel. The pieces range in genre from literary, magical realism, and military fiction, to sci-fi, fantasy, western, and mythology. The variety of forms and genres mirrors the variety of my interests while studying at UMKC and the breadth of topics available for me to spend time focusing my efforts. I very much enjoyed the opportunity to explore different modes of storytelling and I believe that my enthusiasm shows through in every piece in this collection.
