Staples senior Lucas Hammerman has written a history-based short story, “Two Brothers, One War.” Set in the Civil War, and available online, one reader called it “very cinematic in its visual descriptions and dramatic pace.”
Another said: “I can’t believe a high school boy wrote this beautiful story. From the very beginning I was pulled into it.”
