Memory Work Essays, Chunk Six: Passing the Metaphorical Kidney Stone

This is another chunk of our memory work essays, posted as promotion for the AllFam Kickstarter. Every $300 raised will get another 1000 words posted. We're less than $200 to $2000; if/when we hit that, these essays will get illustrated and a special limited color Risograph print run.
