"Champage Water" by Tara L. Masih
Short story from divide, Issue 4.

"The balanced collection of essays, fiction, poetry and photography produced by the University of Colorado reminds me of The Sun: there is a sensitivity to the human condition and our place within the natural world. . . . A lot of the prose in Divide flows like travel, sometimes slow and building, sometimes awesome and shocking. Several pieces stand out: a couple trying to salvage a doomed marriage by vacationing to Dominica in Tara L. Masih’s "Champagne Water". . . . Dark elements infuse the selections in Divide but there is a lightness – something like enlightenment – coming out of each experience." —Robert Duffer, NEWPAGES.com, Literary Magazine Reviews, July 16, 2007
