    About this ebook

    "Behind the Walls" portrays the life of a man who has hidden himself away from the world in a dark room. His secluded life is threatened, however, when a woman from outside attempts to smash through his wall.

    "Tunnel of Love" follows a couple, Michael and Shelly, as an argument breaks out. As the fight escalates, the two struggle to find why they are together and where they went wrong. Also, they are trapped in a tunnel of love ride.

    "Life from Death" takes place in the last moments of a dying universe. A boy and a pig, the last two living beings, debate whether they should blow up the last remaining star while they grieve for the life they had and worry for their life ahead.
