Zapped!: A Collection of Short Stories with a Christian Worldview

by Gary W. Ritter

Can you imagine this? An Islamic terrorist slips over the southern border and is soon welcomed into the very center of governmental power. Behind the scenes we get an inside look at how the devil battles for a man’s soul. An obvious government tourist trap becomes a high priced destination. Euthanasia becomes so popular the government rolls it out to every neighborhood. You can explore these possibilities and many more in this amazing collection of short stories written from a Christian worldview. What do you think? Could these circumstances happen? Here are what some readers have to “I was struck by how you captured the profound effect a comment or question can have, even years later. I loved the way the end tied up the beginning. Great job!” Soul “Wow! Words can't even begin to describe all the wonderful things about this story. It's brilliant. The choppy sentences that might normally distract me fit your MC and the atmosphere perfectly. It added to the story and to your character. That is something only a truly gifted writer can accomplish. It made me think of my cousin and how one day she'll struggle with something similar, probably sooner than I'd like to believe, but your story didn't make me feel sad for her, it made me realize how blessed she is. Outstanding job.” Museum of Government “I first thought that a Museum of Government Innovation would be no bigger than a phone booth, but I guess its size is inflated by having to store so much hot air. Love the dialogue with the kids - who often see more succinctly than us sophisticated adults. Good job.” “I loved,loved,loved this short story! It was well written and terrifying. Your style of writing made it even more terrifying because the MC's voice was calm and normal. Many great word choices and phrases throughout. I have no constructive criticism. Just wish I'd written it!” Zapped! is the first of a planned three volume collection, each of which contains a assortment of twenty short stories. Each story is a very short read of only two to three minutes. They provide an eclectic range of fiction from drama, suspense, humor, social and political commentary, to take-offs on Biblical stories. Be these stories are not politically correct. Perhaps some of them will surprise you. Come spend a couple hours. Think. Learn. Grow. Be entertained.
