What becomes of a man who denies what he is? What becomes of a pilot who cannot fly? What becomes of love denied under the open sky? This work of short fiction explores these questions and more, and discovers transformation, loss, and rebirth.
Joshua Converse was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and spent his childhood on a horse ranch in Louisiana. He served four years in the U.S. Army and spent time in the Middle East during the war. He holds a bachelor's degree in Literature and a Master of Arts in English. Joshua lives in Monterey, California with his wife and their children.
I'm a big fan of Converse's style, and when I first downloaded this short read, I was afraid I would be disappointed by it's brevity. Of course I wasn't. It's like a delicious well-crafted shot--gone too soon, but the warmth lingers.
