These stories call on the readers to treat each moment of their life with respect, with awe of the unknown magic that a sundry moment may unfold, and at the same time, seek to invoke unity through empathy for the human condition through the vivid ‘the person next-door’ characters, caught up in their moments of disruption. Two Minutes to an Eclipse and Other Moments is a collection of short fiction centered on moments. Moments that disturb, shock, thrill, or apprise unsuspecting readers of their potential to jolt out of ubieties or plain boredom. No matter how ordinary and dull life seems, no matter the number of years that have formed and frozen opinions and beliefs — an unbidden moment can destabilize the status quo, which the stories lay bare.
