Five provocative stories from the award-winning author of The Puzzle Box Chronicles. Each tale raises questions about how external influences sometimes can have a huge impact on the trajectory of people's lives.

The Strand: A man driving into the sunset is reminded of the choices he made, and the tragedy he's left in his wake. But the one thing he thought he left behind, may still be riding with him.

My City of Ghosts: Written during a pandemic, this is a story of a plague that takes a darker turn. As the global population dwindles, some people take heroic measures - while others protect only themselves.

The Last Walk:

A weary soldier comes home from war and takes his ailing dog Max on what will likely be his final walk. But as they head deep into the woods, the dog has his own ideas of why they're there.

John of the Earth:

A young quantum entanglement researcher leaves his job as a military contractor, to find solace in the woods. There, an old man named John offers stunning insights into the reality of the natural world.

The Sea Glass Empire: A mysterious man from far away arrives at a harbor, hoping to help a woman known to dive deep to recover sea glass. But he has another agenda. The glass is the medium he needs to bring forward a new kind of life.

As a group, these stories paint a picture of alternatives. And intriguing possibilities.
