A PULSE IN OBLIVION AND OTHER STORIES combines elements of drama, science fiction and fantasy into a collection of stories with a shared, universal theme. They all convey hope in times of great adversity and follow the personal journey of the protagonist in their mental quest for finding that lost spark of salvation.

In the eponymous story, "A Pulse In Oblivion," the two protagonists find themselves in a hopeless situation that is only slightly ameliorated by the accidental run-in with a copy of an old play.

In "A Dance By The Lake," the protagonist, George, is an old man with only a fleeting connection with his younger days and deceased love: a broken watch. As he reminisces of those old days, the presence of his wife becomes the only comfort and remedy to an aging mind.

Finally, in "What Good Is Arithmetic?" -- set in war-torn France -- the protagonist André rummages through the rubble and encounters his old teacher who suffers from mortal wounds. They exchange a few words and André learns that only through these troubled times that his mind can learn to nourish.
