Crossings - eBook

A ghost town. Murders. Revenge. Beautiful landscapes. Resolute people. Scars. Rebirth. Life.

These stories look at the tumultuous bond between man and nature and the price man must frequently pay for his naive mistakes. Even in a civilized society, the ugliness of man shows itself and ordinary citizens must pay the ultimate price.
