As a Mere Breath: Short Stories
No Customer Reviews
As a Mere Breath: Short Stories by Markus McDowell is a compelling and thought-provoking collection that delves into the intricate tapestry of human experience, resilience, and redemption. Nine evocative tales offer a unique lens on life's challenges and triumphs. Drawing inspiration from Psalm 39:5, which reflects on the fleeting nature of existence, the book opens with the haunting "Fishhooks," a metaphorical exploration of being ensnared by life's burdens, followed by stories like
- "You Made Your Bed...," a poignant look at neglect and self-discovery,
- "Train Wreck," a meditative journey through order and chaos.
Other standout pieces include "Motivation Null," a programmer's struggle with burnout, "Schadenfreude," a caf scene of unintended humor, and "Guillotine," a historical narrative of fear and fate. The collection culminates with "Battle-Weary," a powerful Arthurian tale of leadership and moral dilemmas amid war.Format:Paperback
