The small town themes in The Heartbeat of Quiet Streets stories can mean love, happiness, impatience, fear, or end of life, and a quiet street can imply peace or danger, depending on perspective. The Heartbeat means preparing for a Christmas party, a missing car, a car crash, death of a good friend, misconceptions by a 5-year-old, a sad pregnant widow, trouble with a red Cadillac, a sad lonely salesman, the end of a long relationship, the inner workings of a restaurant, the weak-kneed feeling of being pulled over on the road, the devil trying to take over a small town...in some way it blankets all our stories. This collection of compelling short stories, poetry, and dystopian fiction from South Carolina's published award winning, and up-and-coming new authors.
