    About this ebook

    Is beauty an objective truth, or something that derives from the state of mind of the beholder? In this short story by romance novelist Joshua Edward Smith, the attraction a man has for his wife is contrasted against his ephemeral attraction for another woman. Rich with symbolism and insight, this dream-like journey will take you into the innermost thoughts of a man as he takes a short trip that may also be the longest of his life.

    This is a single short story, about 12 pages in length.
