This is a collection of short fiction and poetry about life. Why are they French street stories? Voltaire once said novels were fictionalized versions of how people live their lives and short stories about how they actually live their lives. He also said most of what he learned in life was from Paris's streets, where his character was forged. And that great things happen in this world -nature's calamities, famines, and pestilence, but the real dangers people may face daily are what awaits them around the corner, what is often lurking in the blackened hearts of people we know. The most terrible wars are sometimes fought within the walls of our own homes, and sometimes people we love, the people who are supposed to love us, protect us, cause the most damage, the most pain. Living is dangerous, but it is also its own reward. We gain from such experiences because we survive them. Pain and change are always coming, but we were built to take it and be stronger as a result.
