Odd, Strange and Curious

This is a collection of twelve alternative fiction short stories in which the characters are challenged to cope with environments and situations that are beyond their understanding. Some of the problems are deadly, and some are confusing problems to be solved, and some are both.

Two of the stories are flash fiction which leaves the reader to understand the hinted at implications. Two of the stories are contest stories based on an initial theme but go in quite different directions.

In most of the stories, the lead characters find that he/she is not in control of their lives. Some power, somewhere, is interfering with their rational expectations. There isn't always a solution.

Half of the stories have some kind of a love theme, but not quite what the reader might expect.
