Zen and the Silent Turtle

By Colin Linder

The story begins in a void where five authors-William Shakespeare, Stephen King, Ted Chiang, Herman Melville, and Jorge Luis Borges-are gathered by a host named Zen. They play a twelve-hand poker game using blank cards that transform into elements of a story: a person, a place, an object, and a question. As they play, they "build" reality, creating moments that test the limits of human endurance.
