Description:Choices is an amazing collection of 75 short-short stories, all telling about Hugh Sutherland's daily choices. He lives in the middle of the block and has to choose to go left or right each morning, to get to either of two bus lines so he can go to work. One frigid morning he gets hit between the eyes with the realization that if he goes left, he misses all the experiences he'd have had if he'd gone right, and vice versa. He's blown away by his philosophical epiphany and sits on his front stoop, freezing his tuckus off. And finally he has to get up and go, one way or the other. The rest of the stories show his sudden awareness having a great impact on his life. It's a riveting tale. I wrote Choices to show how choices have far-reaching effects. If not one way, then another - it's not always just left or right. And if you choose a way that you don't like, then choose another! The Choice Is Yours! Rated R Keywords:Listed in: |

In my own life, I chose the path of a "starving artist," but then married a single parent and had to "get real." All of us have life-changing decisions to face. This book showed me how even an ordinary day can lead to extraordinary events. I was also reminded of Voltaire's Candide, as we may sometimes think we are in "the best of all possible worlds," and then life takes us by the scruff of the neck and shakes us up. Thanks.
