First Person Fiction: Finding My Hat
by John Son
Jin-Han Park's story opens with his first memory: losing his hat to the wind on a blustery Chicago street. Through he never gets the hat back, Jin-Han, like his family searching for their place in America, never stops looking for other hats to try on.

Excerpt:
It's the first thing I remember — two years old, huffing along the short, stubby legs, trying to keep up with Uhmmah's heels clicking against the pavement. Empty paper cups skittered along the curb, sheets of newspaper fluttered around parking meters. Steel and concrete buildings shot up into blue sky. A gust of wind sweeping down the street left us shivering into our scarves, dust and grit needling our eyes. Suddenly my head felt lighter, and I blinked up to see my hat rising above us.
