Empowerment. Engagement. Authenticity.
Prose by Kristy Kassie
Prose is a term used for short pieces of writing. I use prose to practice different writing skills: creating a setting, developing characters, describing emotions and showing the passage of time. Feedback on the prose below is welcome and, if you need help improving your writing, I'm happy to do that, too!
Brogan Bites is available on Amazon!
In 2016, I started writing creative nonfiction flashes about a character named Brogan. He gathered a following of sorts so I've decided to give him his own book!
I got dumped on my twentieth birthday and met the love of my life seven months later. Well, Brogan sure seemed like the love of my life. He was snowball fights at midnight and sneaking off to Ottawa on the flip of a dime. When, after four years of long-distance phone calls and twice-yearly visits, he asked me to move to Vancouver, I didn't think twice. He was the beginning of my twenties…and the end of them. Brogan had been raised to believe that women would always be there to meet his every need. I was determined to be that woman. When he broke up with me five years later, I wondered what else I could have done. Follow my journey from romance to reality in this creative nonfiction collection of poetry and flash prose.
