Lastly, \\u201cA House with No Progression,\\u201d which is about an artist named Ray and his girlfriend, Annabel Lee.

We begin to see signs of malice and realize that distinguishing reality from fiction is a difficult process for the artist.

\\nJonathan Ray Hernandez Farris is an American artist of Colombian and Mexican descent. The passion for storytelling came from his mother, who always told him stories, and introduced him to a variety of films at a young age. The three novellas were written up and down the west coast, ranging from the forests of Oregon, to the beaches of Big Sur, and to his home in the San Fernando Valley. The influence for each story came from real life experiences, as well as the abstract thoughts that followed each one. Though fiction, the reality of each story breathes deeper truths concerning art, youthful pursuits, and freedoms in life.\\n\\nYou can purchase the book HERE
