Faerie undergoing social change, a Lydian goddess seeking divorce, a detective encountering the supernatural, a man saying goodbye, a woman beginning something new, the anniversary of a passage, a boy discovering himself, a flower's regret, and pioneers in a distant time and place: these stories set in the universe of The Empty World Sequence deal with literal and figurative reflection and the crossing from one stage of life -- or death -- into another.
