The measurement of time can be days, millennium, decades, or the blink of an eye. The ticking of the metronome, the sun on a dial—all mark the passages of human experience.

FRAGMENTS OF TIME proposes short stories exploring human emotions and interactions within different eras.

The diverse narratives include times of reflection, periods of adversity, and emotions of anxiety and affection. Distinctive characters experience a variety of short story genres; love stories, coming of age, philosophy, humor, and speculative fantasy.

As part of the Prompt: Second Generation Literary Project, a new story was created each month in 2022. Gathered together, J.W. Capek’s anthology engages time as a measurement of events and people who live within them.

Now available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and local bookstores.
