Grease Stains, Kismet, and Maternal Wisdom - Mel Bosworth (Aqueous)

Grease Stains, Kismet, and Maternal Wisdom is the whimsical, emotional, often reckless love story that we’ve all had or wish we’ve had. The tale follows David and Samantha, two virtual strangers from opposite coasts united for a week in autumn-cloaked Massachusetts, as they experience each other as only they know how. Sometimes shy, nervous strangers, other times merged as a single, physical being, the two dance for us the clock winds down and their reality bends but never breaks, sometimes odd, sometimes beautiful things bursting from the creases.

Mel Bosworth is the author of When the Cats Razzed the Chickens (Folded Word Press, 2009), and Freight (2011). His work has appeared or is forthcoming in Pank, Annalemma, Per Contra, Wigleaf, and elimae, among others. He lives, breathes, runs, writes, and works in western Massachusetts.
