    About this ebook

    A JOURNEY THROUGH THE UNEXPECTED focuses on the various emotions felt when encountering the unexplainable.

    "The Beast" is a flash piece following an unknown predatorial creature stalking a cattle herder. The herder walks through the night searching for the prized bull of the ranch without knowing the grizzly death of the animal. As he calls out in vain, the beast ensures a similar end to the unexpecting victim.

    "I'm Told You Were The Best" is a more heartwarming story of a conversation between a dog and the personification of death. Watching as the owner of the dog cradles the body in his arms, the dog asks death about the nature of humans before continuing to the other side.

    "Delusion" takes a look at the struggles we have with understanding our own minds. Amelia sits alone in a motel, gun in hand, and listening to the ringing of a phone. She suddenly finds herself with unwanted company, as the being emerges through the static heard through the receiver. They argue over the responsibilities she supposedly posses and the pain the being has caused her until the hatred boils over.
