Abrupt Finality : Eight Short Stories (Paperback)

From the author of "Transgressive Murder", "Beleauguered", "The Pink Reich" and many other titles --- Everyone has an expiration date. The question is if the influence of others or unforeseen circumstances will expedite that date. It is part of human nature to make assumptions about our longevity. We hear of someone living to a ripe old age and hope that will be us. Passing from this realm quietly in our sleep at an old age is our hope of a lifetime. --- What if our longevity is cut short by way of a stranger's mistake? Did they do us a favor or destroy our best-laid plans? What is to one lost soul a blessing to another may seem equal to robbery. How do we prepare for the day of our finality if its arrival is always a mystery? --- This book offers eight overlapping short stories where the common thread adjoining these unrelated characters is in their final moments. It is a portrayal of how our lives interact not just with familiar faces but also with strangers. Unless one lives in absolute solitude, everyday our lives must endure unanticipated consequences beyond our control. --- Adding to moments of uncertainty are the effects brought on by those who fail themselves and others. We get distracted by life and our surroundings. In doing so, it is possible for us or others to cause our detriment or demise. What if today is your final day in life?
