Book Description

Coming home, it's such a joyous occasion... unless nobody remembers you. And you can't find your family. And your office is gone. Walter was away for many years, but he never expected this. His explanation for where he was all that time isn't helping either, and his friendly taxi driver isn't sure what to do with him. Please note: This is a short story of approximately 1,860 words. It is a vignette told from the perspective of the taxi driver. This story will leave you with unanswered questions, just as drivers never learn the full stories of their passengers. If you prefer to read stories with tidy endings, this story may not suit your tastes. However, if you are a fan of The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits, this short tale might be perfect for you!

Book Description

In this science fiction short story, a rich young woman enlists to serve in her government's military to honorably complete her duty to society. She expects to deal with people who come from the lowest economic classes, so it is no surprise that her roommate is not from a wealthy background. The many rumors from prison sector W84-88D, "Wolf Block," are no surprise either, but she dismisses the notion of a secret conspiracy. However, she does not expect to be wrapped up in the mystery when the enigmatic prisoners of Wolf Block take a special interest in her. This somewhat dystopian story is approximately 9750 words long. It was originally written for a novelette contest on Reddit. After the contest, revisions were made based on feedback from readers. The story has now been released under the Creative Commons: Attribution-ShareAlike open license. This means, among other things, that you are free to share it with others, and you may be able to get a copy for free. However, getting it through an e-book platform (e.g., Google Play Books) will simplify loading the story into your e-reader of choice.

Book Description

Imagination can take us far beyond our home world, and it may not be long before spacecraft will literally take us to Mars. This story, accompanied by richly-colored illustrations, is a fanciful tale of a boy on Earth who looks to the sky and finds out he is not the only one captivated by the idea of venturing to other planets. Written to help beginning readers build their skills, and at the same time inspire them to dream about exploring our solar system, the story uses a limited vocabulary and basic sentence structure to develop confidence as a reader. Earth and Mars are presented in a way that highlights differences without presenting either planet in a negative way. Resources in the back of the book help teachers and parents find more factual information about Mars for young readers who show an interest in learning more.
