I Am A Criminal was published recently in the Emprise Review.

The story is very loosely based on the author Rachel Ament’s neighbor’s stories shared with while living in the Hasidic Brooklyn neighborhood, Boro Park. Here’s an excerpt:

Ms. Rivkin and the class waited in silence for me to complete the monologue. “Mother of death!” I yelled again. The pain finished off and my body enjoyed that cool, sinking, after-pain feeling; the grand reward “I’m really sorry,” I said. “I think it was food poisoning. I’ve never been in so much pain before.”
