EDITOR'S NOTE

Greetings! 

In this month of September, 2022, we embark on the fifth year of Scribble. Thank you for your loyal readership.

This collection contains poignant stories ripe for the act of reflection. A man struggles to communicate to his therapist the heavy weight of familial and tribal trauma; a school guidance counselor irrevocably "straightens out" a rebellious student; one finds comfort in the "snow" of an old television; and, in the ledger book of his relationship, one finds himself in the red.

Enjoy, and thank you for reading!

Jae Worthy Johnson
Editor-in-Chief
