Opis

A twist-turning escape into ten magical realism stories of Man's relation to the Sea, Love, Life and Death, these gems will entertain and give pause to the reader, whether she or he be landlubber or sailor. The Ace Billiard Academy: What is the strange magnetism that draws a young teen to a pool hall? The Taster (A Bad Review): A quasi-humorous invasion into the mind of a contemporary dilettante; or: Why is kissing a hitchhiker not always a good idea? The Flowers: The misadventure of a caregiver unprepared to deal with the reality of age-related dementia. The Old Screen Door: An ordinary man's romantic, mystical adventure; or: Is it love or just imagination? The Devil's Widow: A woman's transformation, descent into madness, or glorious re-birth. The Deep Sleep of Moths: When is a Little Empty Room not a little empty room? Crabheart: At times love is tender, at times tough, but once in a while it's downright crusty. Creatures of the Forest: What really happened in the Garden of Eden? The Butterfly: Love as it pertains to two women alone on a deserted beach; or: Just how powerful is a butterfly? Treasure Island: What was the fate of the crew who manned The Desdemona?
