    About this ebook

    Six real-world stories with an unreal twist, from the author of the Go Girl! series Beware the twists in these tales. They seem at first to be ordinary tales, tales of a fish sandwich, a tingle on the arm, or a boring birthday present. But, the fish has a secret, the tingle is transforming, and the birthday present is a time machine. These stories will make heads spin and keep readers thinking long after they finish reading.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
