Lives & Spaces

By Subhas

The stories in LIVES & SPACES range from twisted emotions to tenderness; from greed to brutality; from ascendency to failure; from loneliness to death. The broad range of circumstances provide the scope of the stories.

Each story encapsulates the circumstances that define and change human behaviour and are told in different time-lines and platforms. Stories like Silent Energy, Planted Trees, The Final Shot and A Desired End capture a fragment of the turbulent times in Apartheid South Africa.

Each story is told with the raw venture of human action and interaction and fictionalized as Man's Inhumanity to Man.

The human element of boredom leads to an unexpected death while loneliness and isolation leads to the murder of an old man. The age-old triangle of money, sex and murder revolves like an old windmill and money and murder are ubiquitous, sex has a higher procreative role.

The stories are an eclectic collection of situations, responses and consequences. The portrayals of the characters are confident and uncompromising but the outcomes touch the sadness of life and this results in LIVES & SPACES.

The Target Audience includes Adults & Seniors who enjoy fictional short stories that connect to real-life emotions and experiences and have an inspiring content.
