Sometimes some of the best theme writing can be found in anthologies and collections of short stories.  The Funeral an Anthology was a fulfilling read; it was consistently solid from beginning to end. The book consist of five authors, five stories and the theme a funeral. A brief word about each story without giving anything away.The Downbound Train by J.D. MasonCan you imagine euphoria so powerful that without it your life force seems depleted? Even worse in the midst of receiving this life sustaining power it quickly ends. Power this powerful should be shared right? or maybe not it might land you as an attendee at a funeral.I'm His Skeleton by Brian W SmithUnreleased or unrealized emotions need space to be set free otherwise they can become uncontrollable, showing their bee-hind at the most inappropriate times.Day 7 by Monique MensahWe all have a story to tell about our life. I heard living life's a lesson and a unlearned lesson is a lesson returned. It's up to us to meet those invitations with eyes wide open.After Wednesday by Nakia LaushaulDo you believe we can move mountains and create rifts in the universe by our desires? If your answer is no you might think differently upon reading Mara Stanton's story. This was one funeral that you might say brought some joy.Unlawful Greed by Pamela Samuels YoungAnd the last shall be first and the first shall be last, but when you get in your own way, then the order of things are messed up and the funeral you attend might be your own.The Funeral is a really good read and thank you Raquel for showing me how to look at funerals going forward.Heller Keller once said "that we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us."Outstanding work Ms Mason, Mr. Smith, Ms. Laushaul, Ms. Mensah and Ms Young!!!!MissyReaders Paradise
