Melissa Bank Tribute“slaying the cruelty of life”

I was shocked when I learned about Melissa Bank’s untimely death. As with the death of any friend, I found myself thinking about Melissa, our times together, what she meant to me, and how she impacted my life, especially my writing. I then did what many writers do in such circumstances: I wrote about Melissa. The piece ended up being a tribute to Melissa and her wonderful art.
