This month’s story comes from Kristin Janz, who took a rather different approach to narrative structure; “Veritas Nos Liberabit” is a story told in emails about how emails can tell stories.
So read on, and don’t forget to leave Kristin some feedback in the comments at the bottom. Enjoy!

This isn’t like you, Jess. Forwarding cute animated graphics of anthropomorphic predators? What next, angel poetry penned by senile old ladies in the Midwest? Or – heaven forbid – “Footprints”?
So it’s official. David is getting divorced. I overheard him telling Vikram in the cafeteria this morning.

Amy, why you send this to me? I don’t know what it means, Veritas Nos Liberabit. It is French?
