Weird Shorts

Cover Art by Ian Bristow

Each of us has at least one weird friend who defies convention and relishes the bizarre. It’s even possible many of us are that friend. Of course, there are degrees of weirdness — I, for instance, consider myself to be on the charmingly eccentric side of weird as opposed to being on its totally bonkers, crazy-eyed, bat-eating, raggedy edge.

However, even if I were, I would still enjoy indulging in other people’s weird literary thoughts — like the stories in The Rabbit Hole — just as much as I enjoyed writing “Life Changing” for this anthology.

I hope you’ll consider acquiring a copy or two, in paperback or for Kindle, for your weird friend and yourself. The proceeds will benefit the Against Malaria Foundation, a GiveWell top-rated charity.

Author: Sue Ranscht

Having survived valve repair surgery and an experimental cardiac bypass at age 5, three years before it was an accepted medical procedure, Susan grew into the size of her overworked and enlarged heart. Maybe she thought she had enough to give it away -- twice. Both times, she had to retrieve the shattered pieces and puzzle them back together. She thanks her Dad for the only advice of his she ever followed to the letter: "Never get married. Learn to take care of yourself." So of course she is a writer. Susan has co-written a YA SciFi novel, and has three more novels in various stages of evolution. She's had several short stories published in other people's anthologies, some of which were contest-related. Let her tell you a story...

    1. Thanks, Vanessa. I’m the weird one, too., lol. I hope you’ll enjoy it, but I’d love to know what you honestly think about it after you read it. May 2019 be kind yo you and everyone you love. ❤

      1. Okay, I’ve read this through a couple or three times now. I really like it! I love the idea (and if I’m sharing too many spoilers, please feel free to delete or edit my comment!) you had of the disease actually being the result of a dimensional shift. That was pretty epic! For a minute, I thought the Victor character might have ended up being Lawrence’s son but ultimately I was glad he wasn’t, as it showed this was happening (probably) to other people and not just this family.

        Applause! Very well done, my friend!
