Under Different Suns: Stories from the Multiverse

By Jim Wormington

You will wonder ... about the fate of Alistair Cook's cancerous bones; if there will be time for breakfast before the apocalypse; if, given enough personal suffering, a chaplain can cry blood; if psychedelic mushrooms might bring about ego death. You will marvel at ... a man whose bald spot reveals the deepest truths to those willing to look; a world where humans don't die but, rather, disappear when it is "their time;" a Sugar-Coated Blueberry Pop Tart having a philosophical discussion with an unsuccessful author; what a little girl does when she discovers a time-travel device inside a box of Fruity Pebbles; twelve-foot-tall robots that deliver for Amazon; houses that drift a little farther apart every day; and an Earth full of Jesuses. From our familiar world to parallel worlds where "the rules" don't apply, this collection of short stories reveals the human soul in contemplation of itself and its predicament. You will chuckle, you will say, "Hmm," you will be entertained by these smart, literary stories, from the first page to the last .
