__"__In a world where rarely anything is original anymore, strive to stand for your true self, seek change and peace. Let's love one another, learn from one another, but let go of others bringing us down. I never said be like me, so be you, be different, and make a difference. Forgive yourself and others, face your fears with a middle finger, and live not by hate, for only love must guide your life."Excerpt from "No Pasa Nada Lesson #40" I WAS, AM, WILL BE is a collection of contemporary fictional short work about a twenty-five year old Black-American, Jonah Tarver, on a three-month journey throughout Spain, Greece, France, and Amsterdam. Within the two collection issues, "Write-Right" & "Cliffhangers," the narrator ventures alone into the unknowns of determination, destiny, and death, and takes the reader along the journey.
