    About this ebook

    THE DARKNESS OF REALITY is a series of three flash fiction pieces that delve inside the human mind and that madness that it possesses.

    "Regret" is the story of a man named Jack who gets a letter from his ex-wife, who was responsible for their son's suicide, to meet them at a park.

    "Hot Chocolate and Marshmallows" is a drama that follows Jason, who has rushed his dying daughter to the hospital.

    "Epiphany" is the story of a girl named Serina, who has confessed to a series of killings that she did out of "love" for a man who had recently died. Her former friends decide her fate while she contemplates her crimes and realizes her horrific acts.
