Merge: A multimedia collaboration

Merge is a multimedia collaboration created with images by Mark True and stories by Al Kratz.

Al, the flash fiction writer, gave Mark five short stories to create complimentary photos, and Mark provided five photos for Al to write five more stories. The result is 10 pairs of photos and stories that also invite the reader into the scene.
