A bicycle bell that alters time.
A moon-based IRS director auditing Earth from orbit.
A teenager accidentally submitting a complete universe as homework.
A woman waking up in a nightclub bathroom with hooves instead of hands.
In Nonessential Functions, Tony Vigliano blends science fiction, surreal horror, dark comedy, and speculative flash fiction into a collection of strange systems, impossible technologies, and quiet human moments unfolding at the edge of reality.
These stories move through collapsing timelines, dying stars, lonely highways, cosmic experiments, and ordinary lives interrupted by something vast and unknowable.
Some functions were never meant to continue.
Others refuse to stop.
