Book Description
Publication Date: February 3, 2013
Henry, is a humorous exploration of the life of a nearly eighty year‐old man with little left to live for.
Henry no longer bases his decisions on a sound mind’s judgment and jumps the moral fence of society without second thought or consideration. The story begs the question, “how do you fill your time, when you just want time to run out?”
A very cynical Henry bides his time, doing what he pleases, knowing that there are no consequences to be imposed by a world that ignores and dismisses him as it moves on.
Two years after the passing of his wife, Henry gradually faces the realization that the relationships of his lifetime have disappeared to either death or senility, and discovers his place as a burden in the logistic and financial life of his now smaller family.
With slipping morals and mind, Henry dabbles in the proliferation of potent prescriptions while he is
relieved of his responsibilities and worldly possessions.
