On the eighth day

Hi, browser! Welcome to the Pacific Northwest of Canada. If you buy this collection of an old man's memories, you will not be purchasing a history book, or a novel, or even a biography.

The old man once taught English at a small University in the hinterland mountains of British Columbia, the Kootenays.

The old man has Parkinson's, a disease with a sense of humour.

Parkinson's patients suffer hallucinations. Our sleep is tormented by pieces of memory that flash like bolts of lightning on a hot summer night.

The book is a collection of twenty-six vignettes, numbered, mostly untitled, so you never know if the vignette will be funny, or sad, or shocking, or nostalgic.

The old man is watching the last of his life crumble away.
