From the writer that brought you "East Of Eden" . . . On the rollercoaster that is your existence, people enter your life that shape it, mold it, make it real . . . Make it die . . .

And of two women . . . The first self-absorbed and lost, who desperately tried to hold onto something that she claimed she never wanted in the first place . . .

Dreams can die a slow and agonizing death . . . the proof is in the words . . .
