Dreams & Visions

By Nick Hayden

Five short stories of wonder, desire, and mystery from writer Nick Hayden (worksofnick.com), bound together by a sense that something exists beyond the natural that we haven't quite found yet.The stories include:

The Memory – It was a memory more precious than any other she had, and it drove her to attempt what none had ever done.

Lunatic Pandora – One day, the sky began to fall. And that was only the beginning.

The Empty House – While looking through her dead father's old journals, Susanna discovers a secret his dementia could not erase.

A Madman's Tale – Mad scientist Victor Von Victorstein explores alternate dimensions for wealth, beauty, and knowledge–with spotty results.

The Vision of Prince Frederick – A childhood meeting with a mysterious girl changes the Prince's life forever.

Nick Hayden

Nick Hayden has never known exactly what to write in his author's bio, but he's willing to try. Nick is married to his lovely wife Natasha, he is father to his wonderful son Fyodor. (No, we are not Russian.) Sometimes Nick really loves to write. Sometimes, he prefers to dream about writing. Most times, he enjoys reading things he's already written. Without a doubt, he has to write. He truly believes that fiction is a lie that tells the truth. That is why he writes, and that is why he loves fiction. He tends to read books published before his birth, though he is always willing to make exceptions. He tends to write speculative fiction, though he is always willing to make exceptions. Nick believes in the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ and believes that Jesus is the truth. This may very well show up in his writings, but hopefully won't land like a piano from a third story window. Above all, Nick hopes that something here will inspire you, entertain you, make you think, or simply make you smile. If not, he supposes he'll have to keep at it until something does.
