Vellichor: A Short Story Collection

vellichor. n. the strange wistfulness of used bookstores, which are somehow infused with the passage of time.

Dear Readers,

I pray for our well-being, our families, and the world. The pandemic has taken away the life we used to live, and some, the people we used to be with. It isn't easy to cope when things are getting worse every day. I don't rightly know how I'll be able to live in a situation like this any longer, so I hope things get better for all of us. 

This book is my mind; it holds my daydreams and my fairytales at night. These are the thoughts that enter my head whenever I lay still on a Sunday morning. These are my escapes from our dreadful reality, and I hope that somehow, it saves you too. 

Yours,

Tris B. (Danaya Mortemer)
