Unlike John in the first story I this series, Amy is a purely fictional character, although I would suggest that her situation and state of mind are not entirely without parallel in the so called real world. We have all had dreams that colored our view of the world, for at least a while, and we have all made the dumbest interpretations of a friend's, or partner's, words and actions, with or without the help of a passing fly. I just took Amy a little further down the path than anyone would normally go—at least I hope so

Summary: Fly Me to the Edge
Comment: In this tale, another of Mr. Waugh's spellbinding narrations, we watch the downward spiral of a young woman who, caught up in the blackest of moods, escapes to the dark side.

We empathize as she describes the internal journey to the end.

At first, I thought that, somehow, she would be able to extricate herself from the abyss. Her trips to the psychiatrist nothwithstanding, however, the end is inevitable.

Still, I found myself poised on the threshold of what could only be a turning point, a crossroads.

As with all of Mr. Waugh's offerings thus far, I found myself breathless in anticipation.

Summary: Into The Windscreen Once More
Comment: In this, the second of Tony Waugh's ingenious series Flights of Reason, he once more shows himself not only the Master of the Mood, but a Master Storyteller besides. This time, of course, I knew it was coming, that trip hurtling at full speed into the emotional windscreen...gasping as the air is driven from my lungs by the force of the collision. Yes, I knew it was coming, but as this poignant tale [the first story masqueraded as a pleasant autobiography remember...this one masquerades as a poignant tale] cautiously wound to a conclusion, with the reader following transfixed behind, a question or two in my head that you will no doubt carry as well...again this brilliant author shifts gears...you're watching him like a hawk...you KNOW it's going to happen...and yet as once again you endure the smashing of bone and sinew against glass...again endure the involuntary gasp as yet again the air is forced from your lungs...you realize...yet again...that once more Tony Waugh has had you totally immersed in the mood of the story. Totally immersed in the lives of the characters and the issues that plague them.

I'll let you 'experience the magic' of this brilliant author's beguiling mood-setting, compelling plots, and explosive endings. Don't set aside just enough time to read the story. Better reserve some additional time to recover as well...to get the pulse more or less back to normal.

You will anxiously await Part Three of this beautifully executed series after reading Amy and the Fly. Five Stars! John W. Cassell
