Inside My Mind - Volume I

By Douglas Owen

What happens when there are no limits on where a story can take you?
Inside My Mind: Volume I brings together short stories and flash fiction by Douglas Owen, ranging from science fiction and fantasy to dark tales, supernatural encounters, and unexpected twists. Some unfold over thousands of words. Others need only a few pages to leave their mark.
In The End of the World, humanity discovers that Earth has only months remaining before a rogue planet destroys it, forcing a desperate attempt to send a small remnant of the human race to the stars.
The Cross explores faith through a young woman's initiation into a religious order, while Equinox ventures into darker territory, where ritual and belief carry disturbing consequences.
In Earth Blood, fantasy collides with science fiction when dwarves discover that humanity's search for resources is reaching much deeper than anyone realizes. The True Hansel and Gretel turns the familiar Grimm fairy tale around and asks what the story might look like from the witch's side.
Then there are the shorter journeys-stories where the supernatural, the strange, the humorous, and the unsettling can emerge from seemingly ordinary situations.
Originally published in 2014, Inside My Mind: Volume I collects some of Owen's earliest short fiction, including work written during 2012 and 2013. The stories range from approximately 300 to 7,000 words and deliberately experiment with different genres, perspectives, styles, and approaches to storytelling.
Worlds end. Faith is questioned. Fairy tales change depending on who tells them. Humanity reaches for the stars. And sometimes the shortest stories leave the biggest questions behind.
