Welcome to Postcards From The Edge!
A collection of (very) short stories from my travels abroad. The idea is that each story fits on the back of a postcard (100 words max). This concept originated from a CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) radio contest in which my postcard ended up being a runner-up for the first prize. Here’s my original Postcard from the edge (50 words): The grueling ascent of Bolivia’s highest peak had started 40 hours earlier. I was now alone, looking at myself lying on my 50 pound backpack, staring up at the stars. I didn’t feel the cold or the pain anymore, in fact, I didn’t really feel anything. I could’ve easily let go.
Listen to my CBC interview on the story behind the postcard:
Pictured above is the actual mountain in the story, Mount Sajama (6545m).
