There are moments that pass-and moments that change the shape of everything.
Across the Veil of Moments is a collection of twenty standalone stories, each unfolding at the fragile edge where choice, time, and consequence collide. Spanning science fiction, fantasy, horror, romance, dystopia, philosophy, satire, and quiet human drama, these stories do not share a single world-but they share a single question:
What happens in the instant before something becomes irreversible?
Within these pages, gravity fails for six minutes and leaves humanity exposed. A kingdom survives by forgetting its own name. A ghost refuses to rest until unfinished work is done. A city sells memories until love breaks the system. A single seed cracks concrete and reminds the world how persistence truly works.
Each story is complete, self-contained, and unafraid to end where it must-sometimes with hope, sometimes with loss, always with intention.
This is not a collection about heroes saving the world.
It is about ordinary beings standing at thresholds-
between seconds, between decisions, between who they were and who they can no longer avoid becoming.
Written with clarity, restraint, and emotional precision, Across the Veil of Moments invites readers to pause, step closer, and look through the thin places of reality-where the smallest moments carry the heaviest weight.
Some veils are crossed.
Some are only glimpsed.
All of them leave a mark.
