Loose Ends

Marie-Claire has a nice Left Bank apartment and a routine. Sunday is library day, and even there she has her habits. She like to fill her water bottle in the loo, and read the illicit scribblings on the wall. One catches her attention and she writes her phone number beneath it. She can think of nothing else. Will the scribbler phone? (Loose Ends) What do you do when you have a terrible thirst, and a longing to see your love? You fight your way through anything, through a Delhi rush hour if necessary... knowing that at the end of the journey all thirsts will be assuaged, and all hunger stilled. (Thirst for Sasha) Loose Ends and Thirst for Sasha are two of the short stories from this collection by Emilie Connes. The stories all explore the depths of human emotions and the complexity of relationships.
