Hallee Israel

Hallee Israel is a student at the University of Arkansas studying creative writing under talented faculty such as Toni Jensen, focusing writing in magical realism, exploring themes of friendship, death, and humor.

The Corpse in the Woods

Marli finds a corpse resting at the bank of a river in the middle of the woods after school. She almost doesn’t see it hidden amongst the brush and the moss, but the dingy gray color of its sneakers sticks out underneath the vibrant autumn leaves. After cleaning off her Dana Scully glasses – and squinting for good measure – she’s certain that it is a corpse, and not a fresh one either.
