| Publisher Description: None of these stories has any meaning beyond what the reader might impart to them. They are merely scaffolds on which the reader will create their own imaginative worlds. Stories unlock a door into the world of the imagination and usher the reader down its paths. As we tread the paths of our imagination guided by the words flowing across a page, we may relate the images conjured up by the text to our own lives, adding perspective and possibly enriching our experiences. Such is the power of fiction. It is largely why I wrote these stories.There are tales about war and how it affected both the people who suffered from it and also the perpetrators of violence. Some stories deal with escape from psychological threats, and how one individual deals with tragedy. Others are about the search for meaning and happiness. Some are simply weird, such as the story of an intimidated student trying to impress malevolent Examiners. A gothic tale describes the fate of an obsessive collector and his possessive objects. Reading and tiling will never be the same again once you have read those stories. Speculations about an old photograph will change the way you look at photos. |
