This book is a tapestry of stories, woven from the threads of my experiences and observations. The characters you'll meet are drawn from the vivid, chaotic, and often harsh reality of New York City life. Some names will be familiar, some events will echo true stories, and some dialogues will seem like whispers you've heard before. But remember, it's all fiction. These stories are my attempt to capture the essence of a city that never sleeps, to shine a light on its shadows, and to celebrate its resilience. Some tales may provoke thought, others may simply entertain. My hope is that each story leaves a mark, just as the city has left its mark on me
