The Fall of Icarus (The Elevator, The Fall of Icarus, and The Girl)

THE FALL OF ICARUS (THE ELEVATOR, THE FALL OF ICARUS, AND THE GIRL).  Three interconnected short-stories set in Paris explore the issue of choice, survival and transformation. In the first story, a young man on his first business trip is waylaid by an aberrant elevator. In the pivotal tale, a young scientist re-imagines the Greek myth of Icarus and his fall to earth. In the final story, a young woman who cannot recall her own name relates the fantastical tale of a girl who can fly.
