Differing Hues of Solitude

Short Fiction Collection

This collection of short fiction paints five perspectives on individuals' lives and the events, actions, pathways and circumstances that lead to personal realms of enduring isolation: I) DEVOTION AND DUPLICITY: A TALE OF FRIENDSHIP AND BETRAYAL explores the dynamics of two longtime and dedicated companions and the moment when their connection must irreversibly terminate. II) Working aboard the ferry boat, MV Persistence, Drew Tharson reluctantly observes the dichotomy between his passengers' inconsequential challenges and the deeper travails overwhelming the broader and distant world in RAPACITY AND REFLECTION ON REDEMPTION SOUND. III) A young man, office worker Martin, spends his lunch break patiently awaiting the return of his lover, reminiscing on the perfection of their blissful times spent together in SEASHELLS AND SEDUCTION. IV) TRANSACTIONS AND TREACHERY AT CROWE & SCHMIDT follows wealthy and successful entrepreneur and CEO, Stanford Chamberlain, as his greedy foray into cybercrime combines with a coincidence of time, rendering fatal implications. V) In THE SUFFERING AND PASSION OF LUCAS BRAHMS, a convicted murderer dwells upon his wasted life and the young son whose love he lost long ago.
