The Coin

The Coin is literary fiction, a sweeping, time-spanning meditation on love, death, memory, and the eternal mysteries of existence. The narrative weaves together vignettes from ancient Sumeria, Egypt, Pompeii, and a speculative future (5000 AD), anchored by the recurring motif of a mysterious ancient coin and a prophetic papyrus.

Characters across eras grapple with the pain of separation, the longing for reunion, and the hope that love might outlast death itself.

The Coin explores how memory, artifacts, and written words preserve fragments of lives otherwise lost to time. It reveals love's promise of eternity with the reality of loss and impermanence.

The Coin is a poetic, philosophical story that uses the journey of a coin through millennia to explore the universal human experiences of love, loss, and the search for meaning. Its characters — ancient and modern — are united by their longing for connection and understanding in the face of mortality. The story ultimately suggests that while death is inevitable, love and memory can transcend time, offering hope and continuity across generations.
