Cream

by Dave Dumanis

What if you invented a skincare cream that made people younger? Not just look younger, but feel, think, and act younger, too? What if it became wildly popular? And what if it worked just a little too well? A 20-year-veteran of marketing and advertising by day, author Dave Dumanis ( The Pink and White Bunnyrabbit Story , Alphabetical Disorder ) "gives back" in this modern-day fountain of youth story gone horribly wrong.

Weird & good!

[Kurt · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is short and a quick read. It's a speculation on the pursuit of youth and the dangers unintended consequences. As it stands I think it's more of a short story that could expanded into a longer novel. I look forward to reading more of Mr. Dumanis' work.
