What remains of a person when memory fades, when reality fractures, when love demands compromise, or when the universe itself begins to whisper?
Shards is the first book in the Being Human series by Vita Harwood - a collection of seven short tales that explore identity under pressure.
A man trapped inside layered dreams must fight to remember his own name.
A woman who transforms into a bird struggles between solitude and human connection.
A wanderer in a dead landscape begins to question the nature of salvation.
A mirror opens a passage beyond space.
The wind calls a man back to the self he abandoned.
A tiny creature fights for survival in a merciless world.
Each story stands alone in tone and genre - psychological horror, speculative fiction, philosophical allegory, magical realism - yet all are united by one central theme:
Humanity is not a given. It is a choice.
Concise, atmospheric, and intellectually resonant, Shards is ideal for readers who appreciate:
- Philosophical short fiction
- Existential speculative storytelling
- Subtle psychological horror
- Literary magical realism
- Compact, reflective narratives
A slim volume in form - expansive in implication.
