Impermanence of things Mark Ryan

Nothing truly lasts forever. We dance on the fingertips of the ephemeral looking back to our footsteps in the sand. Along this journey, we encounter fables of construction in our mind and stories we wish to tell. A collection of short stories that take you back in time, statically to the present and forward deep within your own heart. From the sadness surrounding The Astronaut to the evil that dwells at Anaxbly House in Souls in the Wind; we come full circle to the beautifully damaged understanding of Imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete, where acceptance of imperfection is the liberation we all desire. Twenty one short stories make up this composed and compressed novel, all beautifully damaged.
