SHARDS: 7 short tales
About this ebook
Shards is the first book in the Being Human series by Vita Harwood - a collection of seven short tales that explore identity under pressure.
A man trapped inside layered dreams must fight to remember his own name.
A woman who transforms into a bird struggles between solitude and human connection.
A wanderer in a dead landscape begins to question the nature of salvation.
A mirror opens a passage beyond space.
The wind calls a man back to the self he abandoned.
A tiny creature fights for survival in a merciless world.
Each story stands alone in tone and genre - psychological horror, speculative fiction, philosophical allegory, magical realism - yet all are united by one central theme:
Humanity is not a given. It is a choice.
Concise, atmospheric, and intellectually resonant, Shards is ideal for readers who appreciate:
Philosophical short fiction
Existential speculative storytelling
Subtle psychological horror
Literary magical realism
Compact, reflective narratives
A slim volume in form - expansive in implication.
