The Unspoken Wordsmith, and Other Short Stories - E-book - ePub

The Unspoken Wordsmith, and Other Short Stories is a collection of four short fictional stories that give ample meaning to death and loneliness. "The Unspoken Wordsmith" dives into a children's book author's social anxiety, Lily, who battles her heart and mind between yearned companionship and fear. She hops back and forth between tranquil conversations and disturbed pokes at her existence. Then, the readers proceed onto "Clean Dreams" where a young man has a questionable encounter with a sudden female on a rainy day in the laundromat, who leads him to the reassurance of his past.
He struggles with his consciousness as he relives his worst memories, remembering what shaped him into what he is today. In "A Test For Death" readers will meet a witch and the personification of death, the Grim Reaper who will wager a deal between the two with existence as their collateral. Grim must discover life's offerings through the mist of betrayal in his forgotten past. Lastly, "Drink of Death" brings readers into the life of Drystan while he fights with death as he wishes he could escape it.
Yet his haunted memories spiral him into an everlasting abyss that loops him in a state of remembrance; waiting to remember or be remembered.
