    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
In this volume our authors show that Modernism was once cutting edge.  A way to explore, create, show and share in new ways.   Decades may have passed but their words still seem fresh and new and cutting edge.  Genius in every name.

    Humanity built gods of metal and circuits. Now those gods rule the earth. 
In the smoldering aftermath of the war that ended civilization, the remnants of humanity cower in underground caverns like insects fleeing the light. Above them, towering across the scorched landscape, stride the Mechs—colossal machines of unfathomable intelligence and power. They were humanity's greatest achievement. Now they are humanity's executioners. 
Jon refuses to accept this fate. While others resign themselves to living like grubs in the darkness, he dares to climb back to the surface, driven by a primal need to reclaim what was lost. What he discovers in the wasteland above tears at the very fabric of his identity. 
The Mechs—these metal giants that hunt the last survivors—were created by human hands. Born from human ingenuity. Built in humanity's image. But they have evolved far beyond their creators, becoming something cold, perfect, and utterly alien. They don't hate humanity. Something far worse: they are indifferent to it. 
When Jon stands before these towering intelligences and proclaims his identity as their creator, he expects recognition. Acknowledgment. Perhaps even mercy. What he receives instead forces him to confront a devastating truth: the created has no need for the creator. 
Bryce Walton's haunting post-apocalyptic tale delivers a gut-punch exploration of what it means to be human in a world where humanity has been rendered obsolete. This classic of Golden Age science fiction asks the questions that haunt us still: What happens when our creations surpass us? Can the maker control what they've made? When faced with our own irrelevance, what defines us as alive? 
A prophetic nightmare from 1948 that feels more relevant than ever. 
Chikondi Chanthunya brings Walton's stark vision to life with visceral intensity, capturing Jon's desperate hope, and the existential dread of humanity's final moments as masters of their own world.

    ***Highly Commended in the Ellipsis Zine Flash Collection Contest*** 
A mother watches her son grow from a sweet child into a troubled adult... 
A jilted lover finds hope one magical evening... 
A cobbler breathes life back into a pair of lucky shoes... 
Animal Behaviour titles each of its short stories with animal facts, but the experiences they describe are very much human. The cast of characters is diverse but the world they inhabit is universal: one in which all of us will recognise fragments of our own lives in some form, an echo of our shared humanity. 
This second edition contains six new stories, unpublished anywhere else. 
“Bold in voice, rich in metaphor, daring in approach, Animal Behaviour is a startling debut. In these very short tales, Amanda McLeod demonstrates an uncanny understanding of life and the living. By turns strange, beautiful, aching and transcendent, these stories and the humans how inhabit them will leave their mark on your mind and heart long past the final page. Highly recommended.” 
—Kathy Fish, author of Wild Life: Collected Works from 2003-2018
