Jim R. Redding is a college graduate student, and a Fulbright Scholar, who currently lives in Cookeville, Tennessee. He was introduced into creative arts at the age of 13 when he attended an art school in South Africa. He has written numerous unpublished short stories before he decided to take writing more seriously after acclaims by peers. With The Oblivion, he aims to highlight various things including how love and feelings can change kind people into insecure monsters, with them being entirely blind to the transition. How little control we, human beings, have over unrequited love. Finally, how oblivious we are to what's happening around us and the manner in which our actions affect others.
