I am very excited to present this new showcase: a short story about a waitress who must make an important decision before she runs out of time.

It is written and read by Jessica Ullian, a colleague from the 2007 fiction program at Boston University.

Jessica Ullian lives in Boston. Her work has appeared in the Boston Globe, as well as Vibe, Columbia, and Bostonia magazines.

The Trigger Finger, by Steve Sanders

Steve and I recorded this at 236 Bay State Road in Boston during the late summer of 2008. The Trigger Finger is a short story about love, sacrifice, and coming of age in north Texas. I love this story and wish that I had written it myself.

Steve hails from Norman, Oklahoma and has an MFA in fiction from Boston University.

He has previously been awarded 2nd Place in the Playboy College Fiction contest and been rejected by every major literary magazine in America.
