This book is a collection of some of the short stories I have written over the last few years. While many of my stories are autobiographical, others are mostly works of my imagination. I have a personal investment in all of these stories. I am proud to claim this body of work.

About the Author

The writers name is Marshall Mays. He was born in 1972, and he is forty-one years old. He lives with schizophrenia. It is his belief that he has lived with some form of this illness for much of his life. He wrote his first poem when he was five. Although he knew this was the first tender step in what would become a long life of putting his ideas down on paper, those around him did not seem to notice. He knew writing to be his talent and even his blessing in this life. He started writing short stories in earnest during his freshman year in college. He now resides in the United States, in the Southern city of Winston Salem, North Carolina.
