The Tempting Key: (A Collection of Poems and Short Stories)

“The sand pelted against his face, slowly clawing at the exposed flesh left barren by the cowl he wore. He seemed to be wondering for days, his sense of time failing him long ago. Continuing in the dessert, wondering lost; waiting...hoping the end would finally come and take him. In all his years on this plane, the thought never crossed his mind that some time in his life, he would seek the black-cloaked traveler and beg for a journey. Most people would call it fate, him? He deemed it hell, not to wander, but to wander alone.” – Why Am I Red? When your mind wanders where does it go? This question is what the author focuses on throughout this book. From poems to inspire you in every aspect, stories making you question if the whistle in the woods is truly the wind, and perspectives on wither or not an anti-hero really is what he is based on by choice, or terrible circumstance. A must read for all who routinely ask this question and desire a little ‘more’ out of things that are or, seem average.
