And Then This Happened

AND THEN THIS HAPPENED - the first collection in this series of fictional stories - very short stories, a page or two. Forty-three of them. Moments in time that have changed the flow of life as they have always done. Many of these are serious accounts - thoughts of understanding, caring and concern. Sometimes there is a little humour, but not much, only a touch. The characters in the stories remind us of people we have known, and in some cases they remind us of ourselves. Some of the people are from many years ago, before our time, and yet, they touch our lives.
