Strife: Short Story Collection

By Latosha Christine Brothers

After biting the poison cupcake of crazy love, wash it down with the mysterious dream waters of Anna Emush... Nile's planet reflected in Laylaa's mind

Two intense stories. One about a doctor who becomes obsessed with his young friend after going through serious trauma- and another, the anticipated prequel story to Quaking in the Wake- detailing how a band of misfits seek to rescue the world from a conniving reptilian king.

First, Michael, not content with his fame, seeks to ensnare many more in the web of his puritanical beliefs. Harvey -an autistic animal rights activist- discovers his true colors before rescuing him from a pack of mobsters. After rescuing him, Harvey is left floundering in his lurid madness. Will he survive?

Next up, we have Laylaa, the red-headed thirteen-year-old who walks into class one day and sees the very villain who once tried to eat her. She can't believe her own perception... and no one else does either. Save two friends- Christine and Steff. With many close calls with the sadistic ruler, will they hatch a plan to bite back at the man-eater for good? Maybe not, when Nile lurks in every shadow...
