Short Stories

Four's a Crowd
E.S. Strout
When a crew of intrepid space explorers reach the edge of the universe, they are amazed what they find, but the real surprise awaits them when they return.

Last Man Standing
L.G. Carrillo
Trevor finds himself far from home in a world left in ruins, perhaps the Last Man Standing after a nuclear exchange involving the U.S., Korea, and China.

Maybe Next Time
J. Brian Jones
For every hero, there is a dragon. A red dragon.

Miracle of Acastas
Colin J. Fenwick
The first miracle of Jenda Hebrican occurred minutes after his birth. When his hand touched the implant that had replaced his mother's cancerous breast, the gel turned to milk-producing flesh. His mother felt the change and wept as Jenda nursed contentedly.

Penance
James Brian King
A former scribe of the Inquisition bears witness to a supernatural conflict between good and evil.

Rurik the Weasel
Cameron Neilson
Rurik couldn't last a week in the deadlands, they had said, nevertheless here he was facing down a blue-uniformed walking corpse with nothing but a small knife. Timing, he knew, was everything.

The Burnt Man
Greg Guerin
How many times can a man be burnt before he becomes charcoal?

Turing's Children
Radigast
In the far future the interface between man and machine becomes more and more a gray area.

Unsung Heroes
