Confronting the Boundaries - Wade Powers L.

Everyday life is full of challenges. Meet Starlight Bernie, an old man alone on a train; Fig Newton, a boy with a peculiar hobby; the Pizza Kid and his dog Rainbow, struggling to forget; the woman in the shroud; a professor who investigates a futuristic love store; a man who wants to end the world as we know it; and many more. Included in these twenty stories, four poems, and three photo-essays are problems with family relationships, trials in dating and mating rituals, the perils of growing up, observations on social communication and miscommunication, and overcoming inevitable tragedies. And beyond the real, the ordinary and expected? There are places and times where the boundaries shift and limits are less well defined. For more information visit www.lwadepowers.com.
