Parallel Worlds collects the works of science fiction and fantasy author Addison Smith. Many of the works within have previously appeared in a series of publications. Each volume of Parallel Worlds collects five stories of science fiction and fantasy interspersed with tiny drabbles - stories themselves in small, 100-word bites.
Volume 01 Alien Taxidermy and Love Have Four Things in Common is a light science fiction story originally published in Flash Point Science Fiction. As aliens fall from a portal in the sky, our protagonist makes the best of a strange situation.
Hard Memory is a cyberpunk detective story originally published in Crash Code - an anthology from Bloodbound Books. A digital disease is attacking the minds of its victims and making them act in violence. When it touches the life of the detective on the case, everything he knows begins to fall apart.
Reflection is an experimental love story across the vastness of the universe. It was originally published at NewMyths.com in their 54th issue.
Fancy and Fish Hearts is about love, fish, and self-destruction. It originally appeared in Centropic Oracle as an audio feature.
I Grow is a story of pain, recovery, acceptance, and sea monsters. It originally appeared in Hexagon Magazine in their 7th issue.
Addison Smith’s collection of flash was emotionally charged, full of interesting ideas, and often thought provoking. I thoroughly enjoyed these stories.
