"21 Days" is a story of how EBOLA offered one woman the choice between silent suffering or vengeful redemption; of how a nation looked outward in fear of terrorists and hostile nations while missing completely the fearsome resolve rooted in child abuse, family drug addiction and lost hopes and dreams that was grown in the American Heartland. 21 Days was conceived and written in 21 days during the recent outbreak of EBOLA in west Africa . The affects of abuse can last a lifetime and like a communicable disease may have victims that are far removed from the epicenter (moment of abuse). As you read this short story ask yourself one question. What is your breaking point?
