Conjunto de historias cortas, las cuales al leerlas me provocaban golpes de ideas: alienación, demencia, locura, desequilibrio, vida diaria, pintura en movimiento hecha con palabras, un momento, un sentimiento, contemplación, post-modernismo, hechos inconfesables, siniestro , inminente terror, externo, extraño, insomnio, asombroso, apabullante.

Estas historias no son para cualquiera.

Título de las historias en inglés:

The same silence, the same noise
Two ways of leaving
Then a door opens and swings shut
Maybe this time, maybe now
The beginning of something
Encounter
The light in my room
Morning, noon, and night
You don't know them, they're strangers
