The Limbo Stories is an interwoven tale centered on the life events of Nick Kraus. Nick suffers an untimely death and finds himself in Purgatory, the state of Limbo that some folks are taught is a featureless netherworld of indefinite judgement. Nick's purpose while stuck in Limbo is to retell his life's stories to the souls he meets there. Likewise, the individuals he meets are there to share their stories with him and each other. Nick and the others, whether they know it or not, are there to solve the riddles of this life, with the only lessons in their possession being the lessons they learn from each other. Some stories are inspirational, some stories are tales of woe, and still others are cryptic parables. It is up to Nick and you, the reader, to decide what lesson he is to take from each encounter.When the time is right, and without notice, Nick will be plucked from Purgatory and sent back to live a part of his life anew. He will have no recollection of his time in Limbo, however, the lessons he learns will fortify his moral fabric and, ideally, lead him to make better decisions as he relives the events of his life. Unfortunately, most students of life need more than one sitting to pass the exam, and Nick will pay more than one visit back to Limbo to meet new folks and hear new tales.The coterie of characters that Nick meets runs the gamut from puritan to puerile to putrid; not every encounter is a happy one. But whether he meets a hedonistic smuggler or an Amish schoolboy, Nick's objective is the same: find the lesson and use it to change his life. The resulting collection, the Limbo Stories, is an intricately woven set of stories with Nick's life experience comprising the core thread.
