Short-Changed by Jordan Gleaves
A story about two estranged brothers with opposing views on how to confront this unstoppable change within the neighborhood they grew up in, while simultaneously addressing and yet deflecting from their own familial turmoil. To forgive a family member is one thing, but is reconciliation obtainable in any and all situations?
