“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” –Seneca, Roman Stoic philosopher
Here are 24 stories about those other beginnings’ ends. Each offers a glimpse into what was and what is, just as life (or death, demons, gods, laws, authorities, unforeseen circumstances, or even an alien) is turning the page to reveal what is yet to come.
It’s a smorgasbord of genres and themes with a sprinkle of sci-fi, a dash of horror, a bit of love and romance, and a hearty serving of gods and religions from birth to death and beyond.
A skydiver snatching elation from the worst jump ever. An alien on a mission to study a primitive and deadly world. A couple fighting to make their own choices. A mundane everyman being pushed into a lethal life on the run.
There are mice, a possum, a whole tribe of proto-humans, and people young and old, solving problems, glimpsing the future, getting lost in crowds, or standing all alone. And they (and many more) are all here for your perusal, pleasure, and contemplation in this, the author’s first short story collection.
