This thesis presents a collection of three short stories written or revised during
my graduate tenure at Texas A&M University. Thus, what follows offers a solid
example of the creative writing and literary knowledge obtained through creative writing
coursework and support from English departmental faculty. In order to review my
research methodology, I have provided an introduction to discuss each story?s
development and literary influences. These stories, entitled ?Imagine a King,? ?Bleach
Everything,? and ?Dotting the Iris,? explore themes of sacrifice, the incompatibility of
happiness and truth, and the benefits and dangers of silence. However, the overarching
theme revolves around the injurious treatment of things that should be considered sacred,
namely self, family, and history.
