What are we to be if not like you? What are we to think if not like you? What can we possibly attain or hope to achieve if we are not like you? The technologically advanced have conquered much of the world. It follows, perhaps, that histories are and will be written by the winners, and that very few will tell the stories of the lost. After all, histories are not told because the events are true, are they? Life Stories — a collection of short stories by author W. E. Self — is an extraordinary interpretation of life and breath. A true storybook, filled with the right words. It is the dream America, where people can speak, think and write what they believe while boiling in the juices of justice for all — cooked in morality, served with color-blindness and bull. However, the most damaging of these are the ones we tell and believe…to deceive ourselves. Excerpt from Life Stories: The 7th Tee Even for the obedient, life is a series of deceits, frauds, and knowing how to avoid the social minefields camouflaged with smiling faces. I didn’t have a clue at first. I thought that wiles and deceit were purely evil qualities. However, I would soon learn that to survive in this world you had to cheat yourself first. "I believe the doors that lead to any truth are opened by those who believe the posted sign that reads: wet paint.” - W. E. Self
