<p> The creative content contained within this thesis is comprised of two collections of short stories: <u>The Death of an Escargot (or Strange Feelings of Petrov)</u> and <u>& Stories.</u> Together, these story collections represent the fruits of my labors as a student of the M.F.A. program at California State University at Long Beach. <u> The Death of an Escargot (or Strange Feelings of Petrov)</u> is a story cycle that places emphasis on experimentation and creative possibility. The second section, <u>& Stories,</u> represents my engagement with more traditional methods, as well as an earnest attempt at giving voice to distinct communities that are often under-represented within the literary cannon. It is my intention that these stories be understood as representations of my interests as a writer, as well as artifacts to be considered as aides in the formation of my own creative identity.</p>
