Beauty of This and That

"Beauty of This and That" is a collection of 6 flash fiction short stories that describe details and scenarios ranging from the mundane to the macabre, or to the shockingly violent. The setting is an unforgiving Los Angeles, or dream states with dire imagery steeped in the stressful world of the city -- or both. The characters are average people in typical predicaments or harrowing situations; some are depraved; some have been crushed by circumstances; some complacently wonder about it all.
