The Dream of Angels & other stories Zaid S Sethi

A world of disparate emotions inspired by human relationships. Robert Plutchik's psycho evolutionary theory of emotion identified eight primary emotions - anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, anticipation, trust and joy which he argued trigger survival behaviour. Each story explores a different part of the emotional landscape of relationships in the hope of finding something to limit the psychological carnage caused by consequential survival behaviour. Along the way we encounter desire, arrogance, uncertainty, pain, bitterness, resignation and hope, all in the pursuit of love as we imagine it to be.
