Texas State University-San Marcos, San Marcos, Texas.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/3323Attractions is a collection of short stories that portray the theme of how the past influences the present. Although the stories concern unrelated people and subject matter, they are united in a world where the characters are constantly attracted to people and things who remind them of events that have happened in the past. While some characters attempt to suppress their history in death, abandonment, greed, or escape, it always remains a part of them.Text47 pages1 file (.pdf)enshort storiesfictioncreative thesisHonors College
