To the Touch

After Grace is institutionalized for a potentially dangerous "disorder," she learns to embrace her powers and grow her self-worth. 

“To The Touch” was published in the 2020 edition of Jelly Bucket Literary Journal under the pseudonym Gina Urban. That year it was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. This story grew out of a vision I had of a young woman touching a sheet of glass gently only to watch it shatter under her palm. If the story is an allegory, it is incidentally so. Or maybe subconsciously so.

Each week I want to direct our listeners to other great podcasts. During the scariest part of the pandemic, I was introduced to the podcast A Moment of Your Time, produced by Jenny Curtis at CurtCo Media. While these wonderfully endearing minisodes introduced me to Jenny, I want to plug her most recent endeavor, the immersive experience that is Solar. Check out Solar wherever you found A Blind Play of Social Forces. All of Season One is available now.
