This young Asian woman who is narrating. The narrator feels like she has no identity, nobody has ever made her feel special or important. You read from the journal pages and gather she is just floating around sort of obscure. She is depressed and has no hope, no optimistic thoughts or feelings, and her future looks dark. She begins to volunteer helping the homeless. She realizes what was missing. It is a moment! I could see potential and I want a full length novel!
“Love Sandwiches” Synopsis:
A shopgirl volunteers to hand out sandwiches to the homeless, but helping others does not eradicate her self-hatred. After every act of charity, her long-distance boyfriend Paul suffocates her with his unconditional love.
Between running into a childhood friend who has reinvented herself as a music video vixen, and confronting an unhinged homeless man, her evening snowballs into a night of self-destruction.
Set in Toronto, Canada, this 6,300-word literary short story is about the nature of giving and receiving love . . . and sandwiches.
