Fragments Of What Was And What Will Be is a collection of poems, short stories, and short memoirs written by Judith Huang.
Like the tiles of a mosaic, our lives and relationships are built from the fragments of our individual stories, pieced together and bonded with those of others. These experiences accumulate through the years, some with jagged sharp edges, others with beautifully cut corners–but all crafted with love, passion, nostalgia, disillusion, emptiness, and fulfillment.
Yet, the mosaic is incomplete as these stories continue to define what we once were and what our future holds. Dive into one's journey of running against time, loneliness, and societal standards.
