Beyond the Covered Vail

By Wesley B. Herndon

As a child, you have a vast imagination to create anything out of nothing, but most lose that ability when they get older. I have kept the imaginative side of me alive and have honed it down to fine art. This is a collection of short stories that come to life in your mind. Follow a group of bandits that are pushed to their limits in order to overcome a fierce opponent. Descend into an empty desert where one awakens to a world that defies human logic. Then you turn the page and you are hit with words of insightful wisdom that exceed the thoughts of the common mindset. This book is for people that have gone through the darkest moments in life and survived them. Anyone who likes to be told real truths will also be entertained at the same time. You will be able to see it as you read it--"It's what the world's been missing."

Unconnected

In this period we live in, people are very disconnected. People interact with their cold machines more than with their own families. They look at more screens than they do other people's faces. If you ask them to try and remember what the last person they met looked like, they would probably say, I don't remember. I was changing my Facebook pic. (It's not supposed to be like this.) We are meant to be connected, to have meaningful and deep conversations, which are now dying at a rapid rate. To help each other when we are in pain, not automatically record it.

The Affect

Affection is very important in a relationship. It creates a bond between two people to show and share each one's love for the other. The skin craves it, the warm touch or embrace of another person's spirit, to feel comforted, secure, appreciated, and cared for. A relationship can't go far without affection. It's like being around someone who's behind a plate of glass. You know them but haven't truly experienced them, the whole person. Sometimes it can drive a person crazy if they can't get or give affection. Sex and affection are two totally different things. Most women think guys just want sex, but there are a lot who just want to hold someone or be held. Some people are so desperate for affection that they will do just about anything to be in the presence of another person. Everybody wants to feel needed.

Constantly Conflicted

Iam my own enemy, and sometimes I can't stand myself. One side wants what it does not have and pokes at my weakness. The other side wants to be humble and civilized. It's like a part of you should acknowledge the world, but the other part of you doesn't. What should you do? It's stressful to please the world when you're doing it just to satisfy them. Why should I give in to the world when I am not of this world? One does not want to be bothered, and yet the other wants companionship and affection. How can you find the middle ground? At
