Ebony Eyes: a Short Story Collection Andre Clemons

Publisher Marketing: They say that the windows are the eyes to the soul. However, if you were to really look at the people in your lives, what would you really see? What types of people would they prove to be? In this short story collection, you will exposed to characters of different walks of life--from the jungles of ancient Africa to the gritty streets to even beyond the stars. Consider just a few of the characters: A young girl, having grown up victimized by years trapped in an abusive household, seeks to escape and change the direction of her own life...which may be easier said than done. A young man seeks to escape the dysfunctional household through the fantastical imagination in his mind. It soon becomes a crutch. The fantasy that he has created starts to develop into something...dangerous and begins to collide with his reality. A mysterious woman who steps forward from the darkness creates her own destiny as the leader of an all-girl punk rock band, headed for the top. But they are not like any other band. And Jenelle "Gemini" Florentine is not just any other girl. There is something...strange about her. Something powerful. For such a young woman, she has lived well beyond her years and experienced so much. And the more you know about her origin, the more you're likely to regret it... These characters, and many more, are living, breathing people who, despite their varied backgrounds, all desire the same things--to live, to love, and to dream. So take a look through these pages and be transported through their individual worlds...live their lives through their own eyes...and judge for yourself who they truly are.
