Award-winning author James Douglas Wallace brings together ten sci-fi short stories (flash fiction) in a single volume, each an opportunity to escape into a new reality. While the cover may not scream hard sci-fi with spaceships and lasers, it hints at something different, an almost indescribable existential melancholy shared by all of us. Are we alone in the universe? What's out there? Are we ready for it? Worthy of it? These are the questions explored in this volume. You'll find parallel universes, time travel, quantum entanglement, post-apocalyptic desolation, cloning, benevolent aliens, and alien invasions. And hopefully, they will bring a smile to your face as they have for so many other readers.
