Shifting Tides I

The imagination is a place where anything can happen. Every story is a vehicle of transport into worlds, times, and places the reader has chosen to traverse. There are challenges along the way that excite and titillate the taste for more insights into possibilities of what might happen. This collection of short stories begins a journey of the mind through the places of those possibilities. Science fiction provides an intellectual landscape to explore possibilities; and there is nothing that is impossible. What comes as fiction may, in fact, become reality in the near future. It is not the science that really matters; it is the way the characters respond to each situation. Each of the following stories gives insight into how humans engage new situations. Read each story and decide for yourself where truth lies. As the author, I lived every possibility as I wrote each one. Some stories have large segments of actual happenings, others are pure fiction. I let you decide which is which.
