Explore a universe of heaven and hell redefined--where the wonders and horrors of science thrill and amuse.Jot Russell, creator/director of the Science Fiction Microstories Contest and executive director of this contest's anthology, says, "From themes of green or blue, future or past, animal or mineral or alien, a catalyst is formed that sets creativity in motion. By the random nature of synapse, a story forms from thin air, like magic. Bounds that Einstein placed upon light itself cannot hold back a thought. For, imagination is beyond the bars of time and space. Within the mind, and with fewer words than those needed to paint a picture, a full science fiction work is derived in micro-scale."
