Evanesce - Nelly Sarpong
"One thing I knew for sure was that we were all bonded by the prospect of a better life".
--
“At least 130 feared dead after migrant dinghy capsizes in the Mediterranean”. This was the headline that inspired me to write “Evanesce”. Who were these people? Are some still lying in the sea waiting to be saved? Do their families know? Will their families ever know? What were their last thoughts? Did they regret making the journey? Were they proud of themselves for making the risky decision? Will they be remembered? How would they want to be remembered? I didn't have the answers but I had a story to tell.
You can read more about this in my article: "The Headline that inspired Evanesce".

ABOUT TWO SOUTHERN CORNERS
We are Nelly Sarpong from West Africa and Eleni Noah from South America.
The idea for Two Southern Corners was born a year ago after we met and became friends at a dinner party. We instantly connected thanks to our common passion for writing.
After Covid hit the world, and we all had to quarantine, we started talking about how we could write consistently. Then the idea of having readers (like you) lit up like a bulb. The thought of you, eager and waiting every week for one of our stories, inspired us. So, you, our dear reader, are the heart of this site. If it weren’t for you, none of these short stories would exist.
The name of our site is pretty simple yet interesting. Paraguay and Ghana are both in the southern part of the world and on almost exactly opposite sides. Also, even though Latinos and Africans live so far away, we found out we have so much in common; never-ending summers, bright personalities, vibrant cultures, and even similar ways of thinking. That’s the spirit behind the name Two Southern Corners.
