High Street

By Santino Prinzi

“There’s only one reason why they call it a ‘high street’ and you’re smoking it,” Johnny said to Laetitia. A tiny mushroom cloud spilled from her cough, Johnny took the blunt and smoked what remained. A warm blanket wrapped Laetitia’s insides, distracting her from the soggy denim cradling her arse.

The back of the theatre had been their usual haunt since they were teenagers; they’d sit and smoke the good stuff when it wasn’t busy. Looking at his face, she sighed. It was always quieter here now, but some things hadn’t changed; the desire from her youth raged on inside her.

The Power of Imagery with Nina Schuyler

September 12 & 13 on Zoom
Enrollment closes Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific

If your descriptions are vivid but your stories still feel thin, this workshop is for you.

Join award-winning author Nina Schuyler to learn the difference between description, which tells a reader what things look like, and imagery, which carries plot, character, and meaning at the same time.

In just two days, you'll learn to choose images that hold emotion without naming it, pair them so each one deepens the other, and build patterns that gather meaning as the story moves.

    We all have reminiscing. It’s also a bit sad, as though we can see the finely depicted characters are still in their same places, literally and figuratively. I’d like some more sir!
