2021 Theme. A pipe bursts in the night. An Achilles snaps mid-step. A wrecking ball smooches concrete. Gas lines, arteries, ear drums. An old sycamore to a foundation, linoleum to an egg. Coronavirus to 2020. Rupture. The Cabin is shattering its irst decade of Writers in the Attic with 2021’s theme, RUPTURE.
