Dedicated to the blessed memory of W. H. Auden
"Seconds later the man disappeared from the silver surface of the exquisite
cheval mirror and clicked the front door, and he was as old as Adam, carrying the burden of his own sin."
The everlasting struggle between a man and society, free will and circumstances; and the crucial question of who is at fault in the context of a currently central social issue. The consequences of the war set against the challengies of the piece; the problem of conformity, the bitterness of betrayal, the burden of indifference.
"Brian Moore, aged 29, woke up in a cold sweat and felt his heart beating violently, and his eyes were full of tears..."

P.S. It is designed to be a short story collection, which means new stories will be added soon.
