This is my very first attempt at writing a short story.  It's not perfect.  I think it certainly goes too deeply into religion at the beginning.  And always reminds me of a Vincent Price horror.  (Wherever my voice for the story came from?) Especially when the character visits his wife's grave, and later reminisces about their dog's death. But like all stories I've written.  I think it too holds beauty.  Especially when he meets his soul mate at the lunar city.  When I read that part, still, I can't escape from feeling some surge of emotion. 

The story is set in the future,  where technology exists to change the pathway in life  we traveled. 

Let's be honest, have you ever pondered about your existence? Asked yourself the simple question, "WHY IS EVERYTHING SO HARD IN MY LIFE ? WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?" 

Well then the simple answer might be, you've headed down the wrong road in life, or what is referred to in this book as, a terrestrial cul de sac. A word taken from French, and translated to in English as, "A No True Road." 

If you're curious to know more, please read on... And if you're brave enough to do so, be aware, a world as incredible as the "Twilight Zone", awaits!  Well maybe not. But then I guess, it also depends on the reader..?  And what is one's cup of tea, may not be another's, and so on.All Rights Reserved

Principle:S M O K E (ii) by Harrison217722

The second and final short story in this little series I've construed. This little sequel plays off the many heavy themes and elements presented in the first story. Around 2K words in length( upon its completion), this wraps up my first little short story Duology. This story follows the personal view of two coastal survivors, young Charla & Denny, in the wake of a nuclear apocalypse. The story intends to depict a glimpse of communities of sea-faring people and the environment they are fighting to survive in. Between perils of sea and perils of land, will the coastal peoples obtain life or death?
