The Dandelions

"I found her while drifting through the world. That is how I traveled in those days, carried on the wind. I had never been there, of course, but the sensation was so strong: I seemed to know exactly where I was going, who I would find there, and what to do once I arrived. . . I have never lacked confidence—I was born that way."

And so begins this emotionally packed tale of two dandelions, one a stalwart, hardened explorer, the other a quiet, innocent blossom. This debut short story by Jeremiah Telzrow will give you a closer look at what it means to fall in love, how to do it, and the heavy sacrifices that are often involved . . .
