Markus’s Writing

My Hometown Named Love (Literature & Fiction)

1 chapters — updated May 13, 2015 06:32PM

Description: Collection of 20 contemporary short stories about love for women from men's point of view. These universal stories could happen anywhere, but the reader can find their way in Ireland, UK, Finland, Italy, France, United States or on a road trip across Europe. The warmly melancholic stories come alive as we have all yearned for love we were hoping for, or had to let go.

Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

“Is everybody in? Is everybody in? Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin. The entertainment for this evening is not new, you've seen this entertainment through and through you have seen your birth, your life, your death....you may recall all the rest. Did you have a good world when you died? -enough to base a movie on??”
