Abstract
The following is a creative thesis. Comprised of six short stories, the work is bound by the aim of each story to convey that awareness is hardly ever a moment of triumph, but the acknowledgment and acceptance of all the imperfections and the unknowns that exist in our world. Chief among the themes of these stories is the idea of entropy, that is, the natural tendency of all things to progress from a state of order to one of disorder. While the majority of these stories embrace these ideals through the use of the same characters, though, at various points in their life between the ages of 14 and 22, the last in the series does not. It has been included to show where the basic idea for the other pieces originated. The details of this origin are included in a preliminary introduction to the work. -
