'Watch as the sands take shape…
A desert wind whispers of memory and regret
An army marches high in the golden skies
A traveller grows tired of seeing the end of the world
A man no longer wants to be human
A people run eternally from the rising sun
In this evocative collection of short fiction Dirk Strasser shapes eighteen stories suffused by the sands of loss, understanding and redemption.'
