The Removed
by Brandon Hobson
This takes place in the days leading up to a planned family gathering to mark 15 years since the loss of a son. The mother fights depression, the father fights Alzheimer’s, the sister fights strange sexual obsessions and the brother fights a battle with drugs. The mother’s narrative is the only one that had any promise, but even that left matters unresolved. The rest was just sad and fell flat. I appreciate the Cherokee symbols interwoven in the story, but I don’t feel it achieved the intended purpose of tying together the narratives.
