An Elbow, a Flower, a Stairwell or Two

By: Dale Stubbart

Narrated by: Gareth Johnson

From across the room, he noticed her elbow. Such an exquisite elbow. What fine lines. As he traced the curve of her elbow with his eyes, he noticed something stenciled there. At this distance, he should not have been able to tell that that something was a flower. But he could, so he gave up reasoning for reality. His eye started tracing the lines of the flower. He was only vaguely aware that the flower was drawn on a woman's elbow some 20 yards away.

Suddenly, his laptop got heavier, almost dragging him down. He thought that must have been due to all the data he had recently downloaded. Strange thought. The lines of the flower slowly, but surely, turned into a descending, spiraling staircase.

"What an interesting twist", he thought. And then his mind swirled out of control. His last thought was that he was falling....

Pink polka-dots were never so welcome! Hmmm, this stairwell traveling could come in handy, I wonder what other stairwells...You mean hells don't you, quit thinking that way!

Umm Different, Unique, and ... delirium

Remember the last time you were feverish... or too tired you were nonsensical... or saw something and just daydreamed...?
Hold that image and magnify it tenfold.
This story is a nonstop-one-thought-running-into-another like a nonstop sentence on a runaway train on steroids.
It’s not enlightening or eye popping and it won’t leave you in a profound stupor.
But when you just wanna zone out - this will help. Or not help.

Like A Surrealist Painting - But with Words

This is one of the strangest books I have encountered in a very long time. It chronicles the adventures of a young man who becomes interested in the tattoo on a woman's elbow. He, and the story, jumps from place to place and event to event, but it all makes a bizarre kind of sense - perhaps more so after a glass or two of wine or a toke or two ... if that sort of thing is legal in your neck of the woods.
In any case, it's very short, so worth a look, if only for the experience.
Personally, I enjoyed it although I continue to be puzzled by it.

Humm.. 🤔

This book just didn't seem to go anywhere. The main character is trapped for a while and the whole story revolves around his internal monologue. IDK if the author was watching Castaway while writing? I did feel like the computer was his Wilson lol. I'm left scratching my head thinking what the heck!! The narrator wasn't bad. He's just doing the best with what he's got to work with. I was given a free copy of this book at my request and have voluntarily decided to leave this review.

Creative and interesting.

This is a strange work but if you are interested in a unique and creative work then this may be for you.

The Narrator did a good job with the material.

Weird, well written story

This is a quite weird book. I got a little lost at the beginning, despite its simple language.
But it's definitely well written. Recommended if you want to try something different.
