The Human Condition Will Overby

The human condition ? it?s what makes us sentient beings, what ties us together, and eventually causes us to face our own mortality. Here is a collection of fiction and poetry that explores the facets of being human ? both good and bad ? and offers a unique perspective on human existence. An old man reflecting on his last days? A young girl dreaming of life beyond her squalid existence? A woman trapped in her grief for a dead lover? Two brothers coping with the sudden divorce of their parents? A homeless man who meets a young boy that may be his saving grace or his downfall? A family defined by its matriarch?s wacky antics? All travelers along the road of life, all defining the joys and tragedies of being human.
