A short story collection compiled of sci-fi and plain old regular fiction . Some stories reflect the nature in universal beings, some are just plain silly. With each story lasting just a few pages they are laid out sweet and punchy, allowing you to skip through or reread at your own peril. If you can imagine biting the head off some poor lizard, scouring the oceans of some distant moon, robbing mannequins for sheer entertainment, shifting giant chess pieces, some deceptive multi-lingual interpreter, then you shall have no problem understanding the text you are about to read.
