    About this ebook

    Would life be so meaningful if it weren't for its fatal quality? Is that what makes life so precious?
    Chapters of Life is a collection of short stories, essays and poems to present a different perspective to the platitude that we are all dying. Like the chapters in a book, the events that occur in our lives, mark us, and then we turn the page, and most of the time, we go on starting a new chapter in our lives.
