A daughter's journey through her estranged father's word-woven world. A revolutionary poet and the brave new world he is freed into. Two scientists struggling with the immoral demands of an intergalactic war. An eminent detective investigating an alien's disappearance on the flagship of the Galactic Mediocracy. An ER intern treating the largest patient he — or anyone — has ever seen. A ghost cat hell-bent on revenge. A traumatized young woman regretting her exorcism.

Twenty-four very short stories running the gamut from space opera to horror, from epic fantasy to near-future SF, from grim to light-hearted, from serious to silly.

This collection showcases the wide range of flash stories by Floris M. Kleijne that were published over the years, and includes two that never before appeared in print.
