With life comes tragedy. Whether it's kids or grown-ups, everyone has to pay a price. A boy in school gets picked on day in and day out until something terrible happens to him. A storeowner hopes to make some quick cash without calculating the consequences of his actions. A drunk and diluted man who has lost everything that ever mattered to him cannot let go of the past. Two teenagers go out to have a fun night only to learn that there's a darker side of life that they have never seen before. And then there's a little girl who is approached by a menacing stranger after she gets out of school.
These are only a few of the stories that lurk in "Falling Apart." In these twenty short stories, characters are tested in ways they have never imagined and could have never foreseen. No matter what the outcomes may be for these people, life will leave its mark upon them.
