More Description"Isn't life just like that?" I ask in my autobiography, "Frickin Short Life".It is not just any life that this question targets, however: it is my life - virtually ended by a brutal stroke. As I lay unmoving, expressionless, I felt virtually dead, so reason I decided to write: to prove that creatively, at least, I still had life in me. So, with my iPad held to my chest with my left hand, and my thumb pressing the keys in a staccato rhythm, I began to type.Rendering the emotions - 268 in total - with rigor was a painstaking exercise, and many months passed before the task could be completed, but at last I felt I had captured the happenings of my life, and hopefully the very nature of human existence, in a succinct manner. For the very act of crafting the world's shortest autobiography allowed me to traverse time, with the book starting when I was not here, and finishing in the unknown of where we disappear to when we are once again no longer here.
