RUMINATIONS is an anthology of the flash fiction stories I wrote during my first year at film school; most of the stories center around significant moments in everyday lives.
"Meeting" describes the precise moment a couple unknowingly started down the path toward marriage: a chance encounter in a laundromat.
"CACO" explores the thoughts of a Navy sailor as he prepares to tell a mother and father that their son or daughter has died in service of their nation. It is written as a study of narration through sensory detail.
The stories "Clara," and "Confirmation" both deal with relationships - one telling the story of the ending of an extramarital affair, the other the beginning of another such affair...and the subsequent crumbling of a marriage.
RUMINATIONS allows readers to engage with a gambit of human emotion - from love and loss to excitement and dread - without the lifelong consequences of having lived those moments. Take the journey today!
