Fiction: The Promise of Honey by Sheryl Glubok

A young Palestinian woman facing a religious and moral dilemma steals her brother's explosives...in Sheryl Glubok's short story The Promise of Honey:

Could she run to the sea? She has never seen it. How can she die never having seen the sea? Would they try to stop her? Shoot her in the back as she shouts, I just want to touch the water.

Read the full story at Night Train.

Sheryl is a freelance writer and executive recruiter who earned her MFA in Fiction from the Bennington Writing Seminars. She teaches screenwriting at Burlington College.
