By Bernard M. Cox
Bert discovers the salt in an ordinary salt shaker gives him
the power to see his life through the eyes of his deceased wife. This magical
realist short story is the first story in The Space Within These Lines
collection exploring memory and loss in an effort to show that which connects
all people, the power of love.
This short story was endearing and creative. A man, who
tragically loses his wife by violent means, finds that when he uses salt from
their salt shaker he is able to see memories of their lives together through
her eyes. It is told in short spouts of memory and the loss unfolds as well as
their love. It is a unique way to show how people deal with the death of loved
ones.
There is mature content; sexual
references and some smoking.
I give it a 3.5 out of 5
