Stories! Rising waters

Babang Luksa by Nicasio Andres Reed. Powerful story about strained family relationships against a backdrop of water rising in a neighborhood. Gorgeously written.

I Am Tasting the Stars by Jennifer R Donahue. Another story that centers relationships, this time on board a ship, after the waters have risen.

A story set in the past that I also ran across today: The Bones of Louella Brown by Ann Petry, from Miss Muriel and Other Stories. How a laughing ghost forces a step toward racial justice.
