“Because you burned the world, and we suffered for it, and it's not fair that you get Eden and we have to choke.”
She sees the child. He’s lying in a fetal position in a little copse of trees, hands tucked neatly under his chin, as if he is sleeping. She thinks, at first, that he is lying on a black mat. But then she draws nearer and sees that the ground around him is burned. All the grass turned to ash in a perfect, still-smoking circle.
Six short stories. Infinite possibilities.
Embark on a mind-bending journey through time with six of today’s most visionary authors. Brimming with humor and heartache, this collection of short stories maps the roads we took to get here and the paths that lie ahead. The present may be a gift, but the future and the past both come with a price. Curated by John Joseph Adams, New York Times bestselling anthologist.
