A classic quick read packed with captivating material in this collection of eloquent and radiant new stories. The variety in style and subject matter is prodigious as all these stories have one point in common—the enduring quality of the writing, which places them among some of the most intriguing of the world’s new flash fiction and typical length short stories. Through enlivening unique tales, Ignatius illumines life’s moments, how they can be forever altered by chance encounters, action taken, or by a simple twist of fate. Often, moral axioms are inextricably intertwined between the lines. Many of the stories have an “autobiographical feel” as they take place in Michael Ignatius’s home territory—the small towns in Connecticut, the city of San Diego, or treks throughout Europe and by engaging his own Catholic faith background and Polish heritage.

Packed with 101 uplifting short stories that distinctively start out really short and get longer as you go, this book is perfect for the traveler, the beachcomber, and especially the elderly and senior citizens. The primary goal of this collection is to engage the reader with delightful and stimulating stories, many of which are based on true events, along with others that are not so much.

Research has shown that reminiscing and good storytelling have many positive effects on the psyche, in particular, elevating moods and sense of well-being, increasing mental sharpness while also reducing agitation.

In this book you’ll find:

• 101 different stories on a variety of subjects like altruism, heroism, comic relief, fantasy, and justice in the world.
• Stories written to keep the reader’s mind engaged and may even cause one to laugh out loud or shed a tear.
• It’s a way to sit back and relax in almost any environment, especially when you’ve just got to wait around for a while (like on a plane, at the doctor’s office, at the beach, or just hanging out on the porch).

All of the stories are geared for the casual reader and the elderly and are told in a simple engaging style. They’re fun and informative at the same time, making this book the perfect present for that busy friend that needs a short break from reality or an exceptional senior or two in your life that could use some mental stimulation. Be inspired, enjoy, and relax. Like the intro says: “Just turn the page.”
