In the Fiction Section, “I Came Back” by Brittany Kinsella depicts of teenager in her late twenties, in which she says, “comes back.” In the beginning, she describes of how her bedspread is no longer purple, instead-purple. All of her posters have been taken down and replaced with photos of puppies and flowers. Angrily, she confronts her mother (which she’s run away from at the age of eighteen.) and asks “Do you hate me?” Surprised, her mother replies with a simple no and receives a response listing all the reasons why she should hate her daughter. Either way, the ways of her daughter, the devil child that became an alcoholic at the age of sixteen, have changed when she comes back. Instead of the delinquent that threw up every night because of her obsessive drinking of vodka, she embraces her mother-comforting her, something she hasn’t had for a while. And all in all, Kinsella ends this wonderfully written story with “I came back.”
