Kyle Merchant is a graduating senior and Creative Writing student at Pembroke Pines Charter High School. This piece was inspired by contrasting day and nighttime photographs that he took while in another country. Kyle is also a musician and visual artist. His digital art piece “Helix” is featured on the cover of this issue of the atala.
the atala is designed, curated, & edited by the Pines Charter Chapter of the National English Honor Society. It showcases original student poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, literary criticism, and art. Like its namesake — the small, bright butterfly that grew from near extinction to rising numbers in our part of the world — this little literary journal aims to grow our love of writing and expand our community’s appreciation for the literary arts.
