    About this ebook

    Great short stories told in 1,000 words or less to fill those times between sleeping and working. In here you’ll learn that burying a body in the woods is difficult when you’re being haunted by a doll. You’ll discover a new underworld of humans upgrading their bodies with inexpensive electronics. And you’ll go on an adventure with Oake and discover that there is more to his meager existence than meets the eye and the path to truth is through a fruit. These and many more science fiction and fantasy stories await inside...

      The Pyre

      The wheels of the cart creaked slowly and methodically as they rolled, keeping a rhythm of Glim’s slow march through the empty city streets.

      Glim’s arms and legs were tired from pulling the cart through the uneven streets since daybreak, but every ache was a blessing and every blister was a gift, so he cherished these.
