Swallowed Glass
Chandra is a writing minor at Gettysburg College. She is continuing her long-time infatuation with story-telling, which began during the evenings filled with various tales from her older sister (a Gettysburg graduate). A common theme that focuses her work is the concept of “grayness” – the uncomfortable area between right and wrong, and the struggles imposed on people by this inescapable gray area. She draws inspiration from her own experiences, and although the connections may not always be clear fragments of her own life have been incorporated into the fiction stories she writes.
