Short Stories

Dreamsicles
J. E. Deegan
The day following the astonishing celestial event that had covered half the globe, Jason Mohs ventured into the abandoned train terminal seeking shelter from the bone-numbing cold. Being new to Limboland, he was unaware that the derelict building was a place to avoid.

Eternity
Zahid Zaman

Prufrock's Problem
Robert Moriyama
Yes, this is the same Prufrock who caused so much trouble for Al Majius and friends. The original version of this story appeared in Titan webzine several years ago; this version appeared last year in the defunct Planet Relish webzine.

The Existentialist
J.L. Navarro
After settling into his new home, Randolph Zook found himself one morning sitting on his porch drinking coffee and looking at the narrow dirt road that ran in front of the cabin. He caught a blue figure from the corner of his eye, and turning, he saw a lithe, tanned woman in a jogging suit, her long hair tied in a ponytail which bounced behind her as she ran. Without looking his way, she rushed by and continued down the road.

Two Gods of a Darker Sort
Jaimie L. Elliot
In this excerpt from the novel Harvest Moon, an unlikely group of adventurers searches for a prophet in order to learn why The Prophecy is no longer valid.
