Waken

What if you closed your eyes one night and woke up to a different life?

Gary Javin had the perfect life, success, family and friends. Then, with a freak storm, it was all washed away, leaving behind chaos and confusion. The pieces that he desperately sought were slipping quickly away, and some were not happy that he was even there. But he could not return home. Maybe, if he found her, Holly, she would be able to save him, but time was running out. And that other life was catching up to him.

Melissa R. Mendelson is a consistent submitter of short stories and poems which have been published in The Sirens Call. I've gotten to know Melissa and her work over many years. All her pieces are thoroughly thought out and easy to read. Her characters are well developed, making it effortless for her readers to connect with them. Melissa puts her heart in her writing, and it shows. It is always a pleasure to work with her. She is careful to make sure the continuity of her stories flow effectively.
