    About this ebook

    How do you sing butterflies? Who is the true Master of Man? What kind of vengeance is waiting for a retired police officer on a pleasure cruise?
    This anthology collects 22 short stories by author Thomas Diehl, from micro fiction of a few words to full shorts of a few thousand. Exploring deep prehistory, our current world, and the future alike; forgotten worlds, worlds of secrets, weird and strange ones.
    Includes three stories published for the first time ever, and four stories originally published in German, available in English for the first time.
    This is the standard edition of pure stories. If you are interested in the author's commentary on all stories and their creation, look for the DX edition of this book.
