Drive Baby, Drive

Drive Baby, Drive is a collection of five short stories exploring kindness. Kindness is the greatest thing that can be asked of someone, and in each of these stories the characters attempt to rise to the challenge. From helping a high school basketball rival to creeping blind through a dark cellar in order to help a family escape a monster, these characters actively choose to be kind, even when it has the potential to ruin their lives or even kill them. The bravery behind these actions, and the kind of people that make them, fascinate me, and throughout this collection I examine who they are and what makes them choose the paths they do. For some, kindness is an instinct. For others, it’s an active, difficult choice that they make anyway.
