All I Never Said. Life is a Story - story.one

Book excerpt: Love is so short, forgetting is so long. This is what Pablo Neruda writes, but who and why do we remember? This anthology examines how we experience life and relationships through our five senses: smell, sight, sound, taste, and touch. But more importantly, how do we remember when we have loved and lost? Embark on a journey through the body and mind as the story unfolds of the father's and daughters whose relationship flourished and failed, and maybe as it restores again. Eat your way through burnt toast and slick sushi spines. Listen to the cicadas and screaming. Smell the ocean and gasoline down the burning pavement. Touch a beloveds hand and feel its grip around your throat. But most importantly, see the life as it unfolds, for one day it might be over and nothing remains but the memories left in its wake. This is an exploration of what prevails at the end of love.
