One Got Away : A Collection of Eleven Short Stories

One Got Away is a collection of eleven short stories originally planned as twelve; however one got away. The collection features gripping stories of people stuck in the Quick Sands of Times from an unusual observers perspective. The title is a reflection of the compilation in that the common strain of the stories is the complex environment of ambiguity insecurity and uncertainty which we as civil people weave around ourselves. Society has quintessentially imposed on its membership diktats and conventions which lodge themselves in the subconscious only to play merry hell with the mind and the body. Resultantly a person is forever at war within and faces multiple battles without. Was this the mission statement when we set out to create civil society?
