Decomposed Tales

Decomposed Tales is a collection of darkly poetic and emotionally unsettling stories about invisible lives pushed to the edges of human existence.

A fly crossing Europe beside a lonely lorry driver begins to understand the sorrow of being human.
A solitary solicitor searches for dignity within the exhaustion of urban life.
A starving vulture witnesses cruelty and discovers compassion where humanity itself has failed to find it.
Two boys digging holes in the sand force an old man to confront the impermanence of all ambition.
A nobleman's obsession with honour condemns innocence in the name of pride.
And an isolated village slowly descends into fear as superstition transforms cruelty into tradition.

Blending allegory, emotional realism, irony, and existential unease, these tales explore loneliness, friendship, faith, mortality, memory, violence, tenderness, and the fragile illusions sustaining civilisation.

Framed by a symbolic prologue and epilogue concerning Madness, Reality, Time, and Vanity, Decomposed Tales is a literary meditation on the contradictions of human nature and the search for meaning in lives destined to disappear.
