An Excerpt from Reunion: A Story In 1987, 11 years before I decided to write my first complete work of fiction, I took a Creative Writing course (CRW-2001, I believe it was) at what was then called Miami-Dade Community College, South Campus.

During my rest break, I went to Amazon to check on Reunion: A Story’s sales – sadly, only one copy so far has been purchased in October – and its ratings/reviews on the novella’s product page.
