A Case of Lycanthropy
Jeani
Rector
Susan was an ordinary woman with an ordinary life —aside from the husband she suspected of infidelity— until the stray
dog bit her.
By Traditional Means
Mike
Driver
The supermarket chain wanted to position itself as the best source for food grown and prepared the old-fashioned way. Dale
Webster, senior buyer, was sent to witness the "traditional means" used by one of the chain's suppliers so he could
help with the marketing effort. If only he had paid more attention in the meeting…
Christville
Mark Edgemon
A fable of sorts, that answers the question "What would Jesus NOT buy?"
Daddy's Game
A. K. Sykora
The near-immortals used technology to keep themselves amused, replaying the great battles of history using simulations that gave
them a god's-eye view — and god-like control — of the proceedings. And Daddy was an acknowledged master of the
game.

Craig Cornwell

Danny Raven
Alex had made an emergency landing on what was supposed to be an uninhabited planet. The only problem was whether he could last

Nokomis was the first child born on the moon, and it showed in her elongated form and unearthly grace in lunar gravity. Her
uniqueness made her something of a celebrity — and more.
Those Who Came Before
Aaron
Bass
Technology and art were forbidden, but Arthur's inventive mind and clever hands couldn't resist drawing and tinkering and
exploring the ruins left by Those Who Came Before. Lord Hawthorne was not amused. But Arthur had a way to avenge himself on Hawthorne
and all those who allowed him to rule.
Transport by Design
Richard
Tornello
Undesirable elements arise in every society. The opportunity to remove those elements —without killing them outright—
and at the same time ensure the survival of civilization was irresistible, but Captain Arthur Philip was beginning to have his doubts
about the whole mission.
Walking the Cobblebones
Jaimie L. Elliott
Girthbottom the necromancer must solve the grisly murders plaguing the Cobblebones, the walled city of the dead within the city.
After all, there is evidence that something undead is the culprit, and undeath is his business…
