    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of short stories, an assortment of human experiences and interactions that seek to express how the simplest parts of our humanity are often the most complex and vice versa. This is a book of stories about the joy, pain, love, loss, indifference, silence, and awkward realities that make up the human predicament. As you journey through the pages of this book, I hope you find yourself in the stories told herein; I hope you find your kin in these pages and feel less alone. Most of all, I hope you enjoy reading them every bit as much as I did writing them.
