  Something You Can Touch by Cathee Phillips

  Jul 2, 202624 min

  A woman finds strength in an unexpected place after a tragic loss... "Something You Can Touch" won 6th Place, out of 642 entries, in our Ninth Playground Challenge... Cathee Phillips is a talented writer from Barboursville, Virginia and she is currently working on a volume of short stories with the working title: "Spilled Milk." Instead of writing a memoir exploring the generational trauma of her ancestry and life, she is writing stories that explore how such trauma entrenches raw emotions deep within the mind, soul, and body. It is not about the facts and the details, as much as it is about understanding the source of those emotions, and how exploring the roots of these things through her writing and through these stories, can help find even the smallest bit of healing, which is what really matters….
