Rocket Fish

by Duncan Weller

Enter the eclectic world of Weller’s imagination and reality with stories of fiction, non-fiction, and one allegorical fable. See how high rent can cause strange apartment antics. Watch how a boy’s gift for arcade games and finding money shapes two brother’s lives. Meet children whose take on reality is very different from their adult counterparts when they find mutated fish on a beach. Watch a fired-up comedian try new material to challenge his prejudices. Can the explosive beauty of otherworldly culture cure a Canadian traveler’s illness? When a dynamic reporter gets a scoop on a weather story, what really drives her interest? Drunken Ken has a problem with a man who thinks monkeys can help run a company. Watch a con artist get his comeuppance by the very artists he dares to rip off. A pacifist is offered the greatest gift from the mystical wise box, but is he worthy? A computer programmer is victim of a new kind of moral corruption. A magical raft and a serious accident play havoc with a young girl’s mind. When Gogol sacks Magwin City, what archer can vanquish the enemy?
