One can find demise in everyday life, even if they do not search for it. Relationships end abruptly, at times rather emotionally, at others in a most gruesome manner. Lives end in demise. Hopes and egos all the more. What is left when the light fades and we find ourselves in the dark? Seventeen short stories tell about such lives.

A message delivered, yielding
A reader uncertain, wielding
The greeting of the traitor
Snaking to stab them later
Yes, the words, they pierce
Even if they aren’t fierce
They stab the heart with intent
All of this in one book, my friend.
