"Struggles" is a first work. Two short sories, both fiction, originating from the author's own historic world view and personal struggles. Each story about a man looking to escape - one from a repressive regime, a story that is certain to ignite the passions of any on either end of the political spectrum. The other about a man seeking peace, even momentarily, in his personal forest kingdom. Sure to be enjoyed by anyone who ever owned a dog or simply snapped a twig walking through the forest.
