In the Moment presents a gritty series of short stories focusing on characters who are raw, honest, unredeemable, marginal, spiritual, and beautiful. Chronicling scenes from life made vividly authentic, all the players are genuinepeople we might be or know, snapshots of everyday life.
Chance a moment with a stranger, and experience unexpected events. Struggle along with a family whose child will never be any better than at that moment; stay with a rape victim through the horrific aftermath of her trauma. Run for safety in a war zone, and smell the Devils missile. Get tipsy and dance with grannies, or pine for an ex. Grieve for a life wasted behind prison bars.
Does an event define a life, or does the individual define the event? Is it a combination of both, or is it something else entirely? For the short stories of In the Moment, the moment is nowgood or bad. That defining moment in a person’s life can say volumes about his or her character. We may never know more than we do now; the next step in lifes dance is conjecture, a mystery, an uncertaintybut its part in the story is vital nonetheless.
