How much cyborg does six million dollars actually get you nowadays? Will anybody ever manage to use time travel to kill Hitler? And is that guy a wizard or just a man wearing a dress? Written one-a-day in July 2016, the stories in this book will answer all these questions and more! Any similarities to real persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. Especially Kevin Sorbo.

About the author
Damon L. Wakes
28 books31 followersDamon L. Wakes was born in 1991 and began to write a few years later. He holds an MA in Creative and Critical Writing from the University of Winchester, and a BA in English Literature from the University of Reading.
Every year since 2012, Damon has produced one work of flash fiction each and every day during the month of July. He usually writes humour and horror, occasionally at the same time. Tackling so many stories with such a short word count has given him a knack for well structured narratives formed of tight prose.
When he isn't writing, Damon enjoys weaving chainmail. He began making chainmail armour ten years or so ago, but quickly discovered that there was no longer much of a market for it and so switched to jewellery instead. He produces items made of modern metals such as aluminium, niobium and titanium, but constructed using thousand year-old techniques.
Damon's other interests are diverse. He has at various times taken up archery, fencing and kayaking, ostensibly as research for books but mostly because it's something to do.

A fun collection in Damon’s Flash Fiction Month series. As always there are hits and misses, but the Pythonesque humour keeps things light and interesting. Top marks to the tales that begin with Forwards Doesn’t Count, and the intriguing use of Kevin Sorbo as a unit of measurement. Onto the next collection!
