    Disillusioned with a dystopian society a young teenager takes the law into his own hands to avenge his soulmate. But at what price? When Nathan loses Anna — his vibrant, bursting-with-life soulmate, the one girl who completes him — to depression and despair following a vicious rape, he vows revenge against the trio of scumbags involved. Rather than waiting for a justice system he doesn’t believe in to act, he becomes Judge, Jury, Executioner. He hunts down the rapist and those who aided and abetted him hoping this will bring the Anna of old back to him. Instead, much to Nathan’s shock and pain, it has the opposite effect, driving her even further towards a dangerous precipice. Will true love be enough to set things right? One thing’s for sure: no matter what happens, true love is forever. Mitchell P. Jones presents the reader with Nathan’s cold, clear-eyed view of the world and all its faults, a place that hardly has room for love. But, in this world, it is love in the end that rises above all else, turning the coal of daily life into a sparkling diamond.

    The Man Without a Body - A Head...

    The Man Without a Body is a pioneering science-fiction tale first published in The New York Sun in 1877. The story follows a brilliant but impatient scientist who invents a machine capable of transmitting matter through space — but when he tests it on himself, only his head makes the journey. What begins as a bold experiment quickly becomes a darkly humorous and unsettling lesson in the limits of human control over technology. Long before teleportation was a common idea in fiction, Mitchell explored it with a mix of curiosity, irony, and quiet horror. 
    The story feels modern in its themes: the danger of rushing scientific progress, the arrogance of invention without foresight, and the human cost of treating the body as just another machine. At the same time, its tone is playful, filled with dry wit and newspaper-style realism. It’s one of those rare early works that show how speculative ideas were taking shape decades before the “Golden Age” of sci-fi. 
    Edward Page Mitchell (1852–1927) was an American journalist and editor best known for his work at The New York Sun, where many of his early science-fiction stories first appeared anonymously. Long before writers like H. G. Wells and Jules Verne became household names, Mitchell was publishing stories about time travel, faster-than-light communication, cyborgs, matter transmission, and even invisibility. Because most of his tales ran without bylines, his influence went largely unrecognized until the 1970s, when scholars rediscovered his work. 
    Mitchell never thought of himself as a science-fiction author — he wrote these pieces as imaginative newspaper entertainment — yet he helped invent many of the genre’s core ideas. Today he is considered one of the forgotten founders of American speculative fiction, a writer whose playful imagination opened doors that later giants would walk through.
