I invite you to read on the site of Salon Double reflection that launched the Words Written in Dust.
Here's a short excerpt:
men and women went to work. That is the point departure. The moment before everything changed. That is where part or expected from the narrative. Perhaps a name: Paul, John, Jane, Leah. The color of their full or their tailor. The weight of the briefcase. The control of coffee in the little bistro at the subway exit. The casual conversations around the lunch, or silence. Everyday actions, shaving cream, deodorant, shirt, socks. The closed face changer in the subway, his story. But writing these details, that would be something appropriate. The difficulty of telling, however, prefers not to name, did not specify. Perhaps because, from when it comes to telling it these events, it is inevitable to encounter this feeling: no matter what I write, basically. No matter how I say, with what word, I will describe how these lives, these moments, these moments. My reader will know, without my saying that my characters, if that is really are doomed. He will know that if I say that the sun shines, it will be to mark the contrast with what is coming.
