Memory Plays: Four Long Short Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781953725516)

In Memory Plays, author and playwright Stephen Evans gives us four long short stories, each exploring the power of memory in our lives.

.

In At the Still Point, two former college sweethearts meet again for the first time forty-some years later at a nearly deserted train station. During this encounter, the couple confront the events that broke them apart, the attraction that endures, and the possibilities of life at the Still Point.

In Kingdom by the Sea, an aging antique dealer is approached by a mysterious woman and asked to come to the aid of his deceased friend. She conducts him, like the Ghosts of Christmas, through the events of his past relationship, and the love he never knew.

In Paradox, a writer's reminiscences of high school and the extraordinary girl he loved reveal the mysterious entanglement of memory and imagination.

In The Smiles, of Cheshire, Mass, a young doctor is called back to his boyhood home to investigate the cause of his irascible grandfather's hallucinations. Is it a medical issue or a Christmas miracle?.

In each of these stories, memory is a force that connects the past, reveals the present, and shapes the future.
