Visions From The Edge: Short Stories

Visions From the Edge includes eleven dystopian short stories set in the future. In The Key, Jonathan Maples has secretly tended a key for years that carries him both to his destiny and demise. In The First Twenty-Four Hours, Sarah Thrift gives birth to the first child in her San Francisco quadrant in five years. While she anxiously awaits her infant daughter's public celebration, her husband anxiously watches her. In Bud 'n' Patch, desert dweller Bud misses the beauty and coolness of green grass and hates the weekly helicoper patrols over his house that search for it. In Endangered, the U.S. Supreme Court shrouds an endangered species case in mystery. And, in A Christmas Walk to the Village, Jim Miller wants his children to take a simple walk outside their northern California home. His wife is terrified to allow it. The characters in these and other stories in Visions From the Edge do what they can to exist in a world where their most basic desires are often out of reach.
