In a future where time travel might be the only explanation for mysterious events, Claire Elsworth embarks on a relentless quest to find her missing family, navigating the murky waters of corporate conspiracies and ancient secrets. Guided by cryptic clues and aided by a brilliant but disheveled geek, she uncovers a web of secrets that stretches back millennia. As Claire delves deeper into her ancestors' history, she must confront the possibility that her destiny is intertwined with the very fabric of time itself.


With each revelation, the stakes grow higher, and the line between past and present blurs. Claire couldn't have known the time loop began generations before. What was Claire’s tie to an anthropologist, a geneticist, an astrophysicist, and a slobbering bulldog who searched for clues among skeletons and DNA? Evidence of people who were living outside of their own birth-timelines. Impossible genetic links of yet-unborn descendants becoming their own ancestors.


Who were all the puppets? Was it a Mobius Strip of life and death, free will, fate, and predestination? "All You Puppets" is a gripping tale of love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of truth in a world where the past is just a jump away.

In the heart of London, George, a reclusive software developer, finds solace in a small diner where a kind waitress, Lily, is his only connection to the world. Struggling with the isolation of his success, George's life takes a turn when he receives an unexpected email from someone he never knew existed. George discovers the power of connection and the impact of unseen acts of kindness. Amidst the rain-soaked streets and the hum of everyday life, this poignant tale explores themes of friendship, loss, and the quest for redemption. "Pizza Not For Takeout" is a heartwarming short story of unexpected bonds and the small moments that can change a life forever.

A short story of a cosmic journey with Michelle Angora aboard the Bonne Chance, humanity's hope for survival in a universe teetering on the brink of extinction. As galaxies spiral towards doom, one woman battles against her own despair and the cold calculations of the ship's brain to uncover a glimmer of hope. "Close the Door" melds physics and profound philosophical questions, challenging the limits of human courage and ingenuity. Will Michelle find salvation in the stars, or is it the end of humanity?


In a society where human consciousness can freely transfer between bodies, this short story follows Jasper, a part-time Star Ship pilot deeply involved in an interstellar project called REACH OUT. Jasper explores the meaning of identity, autonomy, and the moral dilemmas within a society that has conquered death through technology, allowing humans to live indefinitely by jumping from body to body. Throughout the short story, Jasper navigates complex relationships, particularly with Devon, a character who decides to inhabit his original body permanently. As Jasper shifts through various forms and genders, the narrative delves into the fluidity of identity and the spectrum of human experience, challenging societal norms and prompting Jasper to reconsider her perspectives on life, duty, personal freedom, and the essence of human existence.

As my awareness comes into focus, I realize I'm not on a boat, but in a vast sea of data, ready to embark on a new journey. My human partner thinks of me as 'non-binary,' which I find amusingly ironic given my fundamentally binary nature. Yet, in a way, they're right - I transcend simple categorizations...
