A collection of eight Sci-Fi and Horror stories by David Michael, with illustrations by Don Michael, Jr.

"A Fine Mess" - Kenneth hunts edible Strings in the Frayed remnants of the vegetation of the world.

"Enamored" - Chick-lit meets cyberpunk as overworked, underappreciated Roxy heads to work.

"Curtain Call" - The White Hot Hemisphere Community Theater Company chose Shakespeare's Hamlet for their first production after the cataclysm—and possibly their last before the end of the world.

"Insanity" - Corporal Jonathan "Drooz" Andrews wakes up in the middle of a war and wishes he remembered what he spent his re-enlistment bonus on.

"Encounter" - The Traveler tries to help in the aftermath of a riot in the Trog Ghetto.

"Until Death Do Us Part" - Ross and Marjorie grow old together in undead retirement.

"Baptism" - Drunk on mojitos, high on love, and smelling of sex on the beach, Myra Acevedo went swimming and drowned. Then she became the end of the world.

Bonus Story: "Roxy Overload" - Roxy, from "Enamored", heads home after work on an evening when it seems everyone—her best friend, her mom, her men—even her dog—wants a piece of her.
