The Floating Diary Blog
authorprasunroy.blogspot.in
This is a short story blog that is a bouquet of related stories designed like journal entries in the diary of a man whose brain slowly losing all its memories. The storyline is weaved as a man finds an old diary in the remnants of the 2004 Tsunami and years later, his nephew reads it. The identity of the elusive owner of the "Floating Diary" remains unknown but his emotions and feelings get revealed through the pages.
The short stories, although related by the arterial storyline, are individual pieces of fiction that can give readers a fulfilling experience.
The short stories are like an online series of episodes unfolding as pages of a book or e-book which the followers of this creative blog can enjoy.
