OUR SMALLEST MOMENTS is an original collection of short fiction which explores the literary and epistemological concept of the epiphany. Specifically, I challenge the notion that an epiphany is something fixed and permanent. In place of the more Romantic epiphany, this collection of stories proposes the ephemeral epiphany: the moment of clarity which is fleeting, if perceptible at all. The characters herein are thus struggling with the small moments of existence, the ones which we struggle to process and hold.
