The Dead Man's Luggage By: Kristin Rux "Fear makes people live lives they regret." The regular guy paused significantly, "Do you regret your life, Jeff?" Jeff seemed to be the quintessential male of society: generous, avid reader, and notable traveler. The truth? He deceived and accomplished little more than the accumulation of material belongings. Now in death, Jeff is forced to watch as his beloved possessions get redistributed to complete strangers, triggering him to take an introspective journey into the life he allowed to be dictated by fear. Join Jeff on this tumultuous adventure of acceptance, courage, strength, and, ultimately, the justification of his life. About the Author Kristin Rux lives in Oregon with her husband, two dogs, and cat. She is currently pursuing her master's degree in adult education at Oregon State University.
