In Fleeting Moments

2024 Submission
Written By Justin Merino

In a bustling city where people's lives intersect fleetingly, strangers find themselves drawn together by chance encounters. As they navigate the complexities of relationships, ambitions, and personal growth, they learn the value of embracing the natural flow of life rather than trying to force outcomes. Through their interconnected stories, they discover that true fulfillment lies in allowing things to unfold organically, teaching them the beauty of acceptance and the power of serendipity.
