Living Loving Laughing and Occasional Murder - Eleven Short Stories and a Little Inspiration

David P. Warren

Sinopse

Eleven short stories focused on regular people in serious trouble, to keep you waiting for resolutions, or to make you smile, laugh, and touch your heart.

“Exit Strategy,” a man witnesses a murder. The perpetrator can’t afford loose ends.

“Connecting the Dots,” brings us a couple who have suffered a terrible loss. Is there a way to bring them relief?

“Lives in Search” brings the lives of three people brought together in dangerous circumstances, where survival is in doubt.

“An Ounce of Prevention” features an undercover cop, in danger, and feeling unappreciated.

“Relentless” reminds us that the past is never as distant as we might hope.

“By a Thread,” presents a newly discovered affair, and last chance counseling.

“Redistribution of Wealth” features a man who lives in a dangerous world. Those who push him too far have no idea what is coming.

“Obsessively Yours” is about the love you have been waiting for—until it arrives.

“Evasive Maneuvers,” focuses on a man with a personality disorder that affects his life and happiness.

“Hearts in Reunion,” is about the search for longshot love against the odds.

“Wait for Me” is about love and loss, strength of heart and treasured memories.

The twelfth entry is an inspirational (and amusing) piece entitled “An Introspective Look at Life on this Planet (Stumbling Towards Grace).” A look at growing up, living, loving, learning, evolving priorities, and our paths forward.

Honeymoons in Temporary Locations

Ashley Shelby

Climate disaster–induced fugue states, mutinous polar bears, support groups for recently displaced millionaires, men who hear trees, and women who lose their wives on environmental refugee resettlement trips. In these dispatches from a weirding world, the absurd and fantastic are increasingly indistinguishable from reality. Exploring this liminal moment, Ashley Shelby's collection of climate fictions imagines a near future that is both unnervingly familiar and subversively strange. 
 
 
 
Set in the same post-climate-impact era, these stories range from playfully satirical to poignantly humane, bending traditional narrative forms and coming together into a brilliant and unusual contemplation of our changing world. Featuring the Hugo-nominated novelette "Muri," Honeymoons in Temporary Locations processes the unthinkable through riotous inventions like guided tours of submerged cities, Craigslist ads placed by climate refugees, and cynical pharmaceutical efforts to market a drug to treat solastalgia, the existential distress caused by environmental change. 
 
 
 
Shelby reengineers the dystopic bleakness that characterizes so much climate fiction by embracing an eclectic experimentalism leavened with humor, irony, and the inevitable bathos that characterizes the human experience. Unexpected and clever, this innovative collection confirms her status as a visionary writer whose work expands the forms, attitudes, and possibilities of climate fiction.
