Creative Non-Fiction Short Stories. :) Travel, Oldsters, Love, and Compassion.
The movies are onto the search, but they screw it up. The search always ends in despair. They like to show a fellow coming to himself in a strange place–but what does he do? He takes up with the local librarian, sets about proving to the local children what a nice fellow he is, and settles down with a vengeance. In two weeks time he is so sunk in everydayness that he might just as well be dead.

what are we when we go on like this with our past…?
