Nine contemporary realism stories to remind you every day is a journey, of consequence or not is up to you. Taking those everyday moments and enjoying them, being scared by them, suffering through them. Take a walk to the edge of a chasm. Trudge through the dunes at dawn. Listen to the chirping of birds. Endure the flash of lightning in a storm. Stand at the top of a lighthouse and wonder if it will crumble underneath you.Or step on a Lego.
