Abstract
The Shorts follow four graduating seniors as they grapple with preparing themselves for uncertain futures while attempting to manage the trying final seasons of their collegiate matriculations. The Longs chronicle an elderly church couple as they reflect on their drug-infused, grief-fueled, musically mended paths to the present. Welcome to an odyssey in pieces, a literary album apprising how you continue to love after life happens, The Short and Long of It All: The Mixtape.
