Life is lived in segments, sometimes seamlessly woven, sometimes abruptly altered. This collection of short story fiction reports on personal transitions, uncertain futures, and individual frailty. Stories of failed love, fitful maturation, fragmented relationships, human misbehavior and psychological growth provide new perspectives laced with humor, anger, resignation and pathos. They embrace sweet youth, challenging adolescence, painful young adulthood, satisfactory marriage, erratic parenting, and the surprises of old age. A new thought surfaces. Live a life, then learn what it was all about.
