Venita Blackburn

These short stories were written in 2017, with a much-needed prophetic voice in the undergirding racism that continues to plague America. For the record, the stories are vast and could happen anywhere in the world. Each story contains a hero. Some heroes are more jaded than others, and yet the more they’ve been mired in the muck of life the easier it is to identify with their struggle. Blackburn has some hidden, one-liner gems and if you read too fast you’ll easily miss it.
Here are a few of the one-liners in the book:
“Big uncle’s obsession with the apocalypse wasn’t about how the world stops, but how it starts again.”

“Pastor Short had a degree in dark spirits. Pastor Short was the dark spirit whisperer.”

“The two passed by the pair of bouncers like ladybugs over elephants.”

“Most whores had honor, but the average crack-whore will rob you blind and blow your Rottweiler for a five dollar fix.”

There are more. I promise.
