So Chill in the Bones

By Daniel C. Joneikies

This work covers a spectrum of not only raw emotion, but that of fancy and fantasy. Something a little macabre and eerie, while weaving some fractals of beauty, yet maintaining its integrity as a work of mental stimulation, something for people to sink their imaginations into.

Some are life based observations and moments of shame; shame from human action in this world and the environments inhabitants, other than ourselves.

A work of fiction and, hopefully, some shivers and dark-rooted dread.
