Lane is surprised one night when he begins to notice little things missing in his life. His beer is gone; well maybe the waitress picked it up. His brother's coat rack that has had a special place in the entry hall is gone. Surely no one would steal that piece that only has sentimental value. Or maybe he had too many beers.
But the next day there are other things missing or different. And each day things get more strange. As bizarre as the changes are he begins to hope that maybe he can change the most important thing -- his brother's death.
This is a quick story that is engaging. It has a "Twilight Zone" feel to it, which is just fine. It gives just a taste of the author's writing which is nice as I could look for longer works.

This was a short story. I really enjoyed it and want it to be a novel. I want to know why time is changing and what’s going to happen! Haha

Awesome story. This story left me a little off balance. Very good plot, expertly written. The main character is sympathetic and likeable. It's easy to feel for him in his confusion.
There is also a second story in the book, equally compelling. I loved both of them.
Neither was particularly scary, but both were thought provoking and intriguing. They reminded me very much of the old Twilight Zone series.
Highly recommended with 5 stars from me.

I really liked this story. It was captivating from the very first sentence, although I did wish it had more of an ending. Dark Reality in this case is more like a surreal reality, a world where things are not quite as they seem and could change at any moment. This is my second story by this author and I continue to be impressed. Recommended.

Could've been a 3-Star short story, but it ended quite abruptly, when it could've gone on much further. Sort of a Twilight Zone type of twist.

This is not a full novel, but a short story with just a few chapters. It is, however, clever and well-written. I enjoyed it and found it genuinely creepy.

Not a book!
This was not a novel. It is a sampling of excerpts from the author's books. Waste of time. Do not spend money on this.
