Images of a darkened city brings you into the lives of the city after dark. Connect with the stories of people that you may well know, each on their own journey through a city in the early evening. Everyone has their own story to tell, their own struggles to deal with, their own dreams to realize.
A close friend of the writer wrote in her feedback "I must say, as expected and as remembered, your writing is lyrical, rich and deeply penetrating. You have opened attics of thought and reflection in my mind that had been closed and dusty far longer than I care to admit. Your descriptions of various places, various cities, draws me in, revealing pictures of places I have known, yet never visited."
The description of one story was best described as "laced with this unswerving sense that happiness is a choice and we always have that choice."
One the authors' favorite characters is Aloysius Quinn. He sits amongst the hoard of commuters completely unnoticed. He is an old man, in his early nineties, wearing a grey sweater and a Kangol hat, lost in his own illusions, almost as oblivious to the rush about him as he is to them. He dwells in the moments, feeling his teeth, each individually with his tongue. He stopped bothering to count them a long time ago.
This is a perfect book to read when you have twenty minutes to spare, to connect with the life of one of the thousands of faces you walk past everyday. You may even find a piece of yourself between these pages!

Fleming has captured both the mundane and eye-catching excitement of city life through several short stories. Descriptive prose that is relatable to those who dwell in urban areas and evocative for those who've experienced the world of concrete and trappings of life surrounded by buildings, traffic and night life only to escape to a simpler life beyond. Fleming's work reminded me of time spent in Los Angeles (California); times of hub-bub, traffic snarls, elevator muzak and the constant underlying hum of street lights, exhaust fumes and buzz that only urban areas produce. A quick read. Great imagery.Product details

Images of a darkened city urban short stories edition by Ben Fleming Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Tense and thought provoking, this collection of short stories about the journeys of different characters in a city just before dark is completely absorbing. Descriptions are crisp and the characters are so convincing and well-drawn that they could be someone you know. Or you may even see yourself in them….
This is literary fiction at its best.
