MFA Creative Writing Student Jacob Hibbard Published in Quarterly West

Congratulations to MFA Creative Writing graduate student Jacob Hibbard on publication of his short story, issue 108!

An excerpt from "Vanitas":

Here is Perez, driving a just-washed Chrysler 300 with the radio off and the windows up, staying in the lines like coloring a coloring book. He inflated the tires too, post-wash, so they grip good to sharp curves鈥ike now, alongside a flattened corn field, where droplets still run lines across the windshield.

Here鈥檚 Perez鈥檚 mom smiling, laughing, covering her mouth.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a car,鈥 she says.听

鈥淚t is,鈥 Perez says too.听 []
