What you think will never pass does. What we wait with great anticipation arrives all too soon. What is left are memories like snapshots in a forgotten photo album of the passing time. In my poems and stories, I try to capture a feeling of time as it relates to what I see in ordinary things. My work is my personal record in which I attempt to hold on a bit longer to fleeting time. It is this passing time we all live, cherish or dread somewhere in time.” --- Louis Barbier Other stories to enjoy Selected Little Stories... More stories to enjoy Selected More Little Stories...
