“The Grand Mirage” by Daniel Mueller

Submitted to Contest #230

Harmony is a balance unsettled — a truth in the disguise of a lie. For once, I ask you to truly think: What is the meaning of peace? What has prevented you from experiencing this so-called harmony?

Author bio

Reading fiction from a young age kickstarted everything for me. Many of us that love to read and write, have the innate appreciation for what a great storyteller can offer their reader. In this instance, reading and/or writing is a part of my day that I get to let go of everything, and drift away into the faraway lands of my imagination. Whether I am reading another author's work or writing my own, it allows me to connect with the characters and relate their experiences to my own life. That's why I love to write. I write so that the readers of my work can FEEL what my characters feel, think, and do – the very essence of a great story. Through our imagination, we are truly free.
