Item Breathe(2020-08) Mukerjee-Roy, NeijePLEASE TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT INSPIRED THIS WORK: The struggles with the COVID-19 Pandemic and those who do not believe in wearing a mask.Item Emith(2023-08) Garduno Rapp, EstefanieI guess the story is merely a reflection of my own life experiences and personal encounters with these technologies. It intertwines my own imperfections and limitations, presenting a relatable almost protagonist craft, driven by an authentic yearning to assist others and contribute to the improvement of our world. For me, the tale is the canvas in which I can explore the possibilities that lie beyond reality's boundaries.Item A Fifth of the World(2023-08) Popokh, BenjaminWhen I learned about neural remodeling following limb loss, I immediately grew curious about what other types of remodeling could occur. If one lost all but one of their senses, I wondered, how strong would the connections be to that particular modality? What would a world where individuals only had one sense or a mixture of two to three look like? Smell like? Feel, sound, and taste like?Item The Last Dream(2019) Henson, JeresiaItem Leaving(2023-08) Rao, DevikaThis piece is an excerpt from a novel in progress, inspired by my grandmother's true story of fleeing Rangoon, Burma, as a young girl during WWII.Item Letters in the Dark(2023-08) Popokh, BenjaminWritten on Memorial Day, this poem is inspired by my contemplation on how I would feel losing a parent in war.Item My First Patient's Final Gift(2023-08) Popokh, BenjaminWritten from the perspective of a first-year medical school, this is a short story about what I imagine the experience of dissecting a cadaver would feel like.Item The Smile(2023-08) Itani, AdamThe story, taking inspiration from a local folktale, was created as an exercise in developing a setting and tone for a larger work intended as a period piece horror novel.Item Soothe(2023-08) Henson, JeresiaNature can heal many things that ails a human, mostly the emotional disruption that life can cause. I wanted to show how nature can heals but with a little bit of a supernatural element to it. Maybe, it will show more people that they need nature to heal them.Item Spooked(2023-08) Gandara, RebekahThere are always two sides to every story, and just because you hear someone doesn't mean you always hear everything. I wrote this story to show how easily miscommunication can happen, even with good intentions. When you love someone, never whisper, make it clear. Make it loud.Item Tap Dance(2022-08) Rao, DevikaThis work of fiction is loosely based on experiences I had in residency supervising an intern, and wanting to impress my attendingsItem This Can't Be Happening(2018) Cassill, CarolynPLEASE TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT INSPIRED THIS WORK: As a student in a Clinical Psychology program housed in a medical center, I'm often confronted with the similarities and differences between physical health and mental health. There is still such a stigma attached to mental illness, but I think that if you get past the biases you can see it like any other chronic disease, such as cancer or diabetes. I wanted to explore these similarities through a narrative describing someone's reaction to being diagnosed with a chronic disease.
