AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Watch as the sands take shape…

A desert wind whispers of memory and regret

An army marches high in the golden skies

A traveller grows tired of seeing the end of the world

A man no longer wants to be human

A people run eternally from the rising sun

In this evocative collection of short fiction Dirk Strasser shapes eighteen stories suffused by the sands of loss, understanding and redemption.'
