Strangers, Crescendo and Diminuendo
Maximus C.

This short story does not have a message and it is intentionally done so. It was designed to be interpreted by the reader. It discusses the themes of discovery of life as well as the theme of discovery of death (and that death need not be feared). I drew inspiration from music, labeling life as a crescendo followed by a diminuendo (the reverse process of crescendo). I also drew inspiration from novels such as Albert Camus' Stranger, and melded the writing styles of the various authors I've read.

For me, creativity means using the imagination that humans are intrinsically endowed with to achieve art. For me, art means that which has no true purpose or function other than to be an expression of oneself and to be made.
