A good painting, in my opinion, depicts details that we often see but don't notice. A color variation on a petal may completely change the beauty and symmetry of a flower, just as easily as a shy smile, or drop of a tear on a face could reveal so much about one's heart and soul. I believe any good writing should have the same quality. It is my hope that as you enjoy reading my short stories. You will also see bits and pieces of our humanity. Bits and pieces of our hearts and souls that we see in each other, but we manage to not notice them.
