Awakenings

By Tom Cormany

At one time or another in our lives, all of us will experience hopes and desires of doing something greater with our lives, or dreams of a life that might have been if we had done something different. These dreams can occur at any time whether we are awake or asleep. They can be triggered by events large or small in our lives.

In each of these stories, the character experiences an awakening to a new reality.
