    A Certain Number of Hypothetical Scenarios

    About this ebook

    A Certain Number of Hypothetical Scenarios is a collection of sixty-two flash fiction stories written in a series of Julys between 2010 and 2013. Prepare to expose the inner workings of an illegal pixie dust operation, encounter various not-people personified, witness the assassination of a pet cat, and possibly be eaten by a grue.

    Each of these stories was picked from the many I've written for Flash Fiction Month, an annual event organised by a sinister multi-headed creature that lurks deep in the core of DeviantArt. The ancient hydra demands a short story be written in every day of July, lest its dark appetite goes unsatiated and its reptilian eyes turn to the surface world. Suffice it to say that each one of these almost 25,000 words has played a part in saving humanity from the end of all things.
