Witness
Description
"A classic tale of forbidden love, a Romeo and Juliet for the current moment." —San Francisco Chronicle A Vintage Shorts “Short Story Month” Original Selection Hector didn’t know how to stop Azmina from doing what she did whenever she came over, which was to clean. Hector is young and struggling in America, and his apartment is small, sometimes trash-strewn, and often full of sloppy roommates. But in his own room he carves out a space for Azmina, and with her finds forbidden first love. “Witness” is a luminous, moving story from the author of The Last First Day and The Rope Walk—a poignant look at the overlooked corners of once-grand metropolises and the inhabitants that call them home. An eBook short.
