Description
"Amidst Traffic" is a collection of high-caliber short fiction, packed with suspense, emotion and a literary flair. A woman covers her body in tattoos to hold on to emotions that continue to slip away; A soldier who returns home from Iraq struggles with the idea of gratitude, which, if resolved, may save his marriage; A man in a New York subway carries a knife with him for protection, but it incites paranoia in the passenger across from him; A short-order cook at a diner digs a hole in his back yard to escape nightmares of mutilated children; A thirteen-year-old boy goes out for a joyride at night, but he realizes he's being followed; A man begins a game of watching strangers to see what it feels like to play God; A beer-buzzed construction worker who let his girlfriend slip away decides to chase down a deer one lonely night. All of these stories, and others, are interconnected somehow. With each tale, more lines and connections begin to form. Gradually, what initially feels like chaos begins to take order. A purpose exists that is unveiled by the end.
