What happens between birth and death?
The Interim happens.
I Like It Here in the Interim: Short Stories
The Interim is the in-between. It is our life sitting comfortably, dangerously on the short thin thread that separates birth and death. Arli Pagaduan’s fifth self-published book, I Like It Here in the Interim: Short Stories, is a collection of 20 stories & 20 colored illustrations about life and all that inevitably happens in it.
The Interim is basically LIFE, and it’s another word for meanwhile (n.), meantime (n.), temporary (adj.), among others.

She can do that for the following reasons: 1) ‘Patience’ is her first name; 2) Since she has already waited eight years before she finally decided to confess her love for her friend, Phoenix, then she can surely bide her time for just two to three business days (if there are no logistic delays).”
