Short Version: A collection of 16 Single Page Stories using titles based on anagrams of "social distancing" as writing prompts.

Long Version: I arrived in Canada to visit my mom on March 11, 2020. Then the border with the US closed because of the coronavirus (COVID-19). I had no idea when I'd be able to go home to Texas and needed a Project to focus on instead of scrolling through Facebook and reading news headlines. I'd been writing Single Page Stories for over a year, so that's where I started.

Each story in this collection is less than 300 words, presented with artwork by Tithi Luadthong, and self-isolates in that it is not related to any of the other stories. None of the stories are specifically about the coronavirus (COVID-19) or the pandemic. Using anagrams of "social distancing" was just a way to create unique writing prompts.

These are speculative fiction adventures, ranging from fantasy to science fiction to magical realism. No horror, I promise.

To help you get a feel for what's in this book, here are all of the titles and the first sentences of their related story. Some titles remained connected to the final version of the story. Others, not so much.
