My Morning Glory and other flashes of absurd science fiction

Here are three flash science fiction stories collected in one volume for the first time. (Flash fiction is the name given to ultra-short stories of 1000 words or less.) These stories were originally published by the British science journal Nature in their Futures series of original one-page sci-fi stories.

“My Morning Glory,” is a curious tale of a man and his apartment and the helpful entity that rules them both.

In “Timed Release,” good housekeeping was never so compelling.

“A Hard Man to Surprise” can be a hard man to please.
