A Pocket Full of Ashes David James Richards

Born from the shadowed mind of David James Richards emerge over thirty short stories that will guarantee sleepless nights. Matthew is an artist with no inspiration in "Pinch Me, Paint Me, Preserve Me." Until he sees his muse and creates a new colour just for her. Visit the corner shop in "Melancholy & Candlelight" where such delights such as screaming eyes and gossiping lips help a vampire find a new soul for his daughter. With the aid of a faceless companion named Pandora, the transition doesn't go smoothly. Blessed with retro-cogntion, Father Jennings uses his power of retro-cognition to keep his future financially secure, and the faithul in his church. "The Past Shall Set You Free" will make you think twice before shaking hands with the next person you meet. Become the hero in "Freedom." A future where religion doesn't exist, thanks to you. Finally, in "A Pocket Full of Ashes," Charlie wins the South African lottery, but finds out it wasn't by chance. The angel Sebastian has plans for the money, and Charlie. Influenced by Sebastian, Charlie quits his job and flies to Amsterdam to begin the search for the lost Carolina, a woman Charlie is led to believe is in serious trouble. But he isn't the first person to come looking for her. And he won't be the last.
