GONE

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(50 58 69 1)>About the short story collection Gone The stories in this collection are reflective and written mostly in the stream-of-consciousness mode. They focus on the inner world of the characters narrating life-changing events in free-wheeling flowing prose. They reveal the wisdom gained in hindsight as well as the jolts that reveal the unseemly aspects of this multifaceted world. Facing the hard truths of life love and human nature acts as a catalyst for personal evolution. The stories emanate from a fertile imagination as well as a fund of personal experiences which have been fictionalized. The title of the story has a deeply personal touch. It conveys the struggle with grief and memories upon losing the person who was your sunshine. For many of us there comes a day in our lives when the person closest to our heart is left only in our heart. We cannot escape the reality that they are gone. And yet the love we shared with them lives on and on.</span></p>
