A collection of short stories that is doomed to fail, but continues on regardless. The first story, "Icarus"- the reason for the title of this collection- is my entry into a short story contest. More importantly, it is my attempt to return to writing. Any feedback and/or constructive criticism is welcome. The cover photo was taken by yours truly.
