Twisted Mind: Twisted Stories, #1

By D. Michael Martindale

Six science fiction stories by author and independent filmmaker D. Michael Martindale that disrupt the status quo of our world in the spirit of The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror. Whether the new world that arises is better or worse is a question each individual will have to decide for themselves.

• A Growth in the Backyard explores what it means to be human—and superhuman.


• Eternal Rectangle questions whether do-overs are really what we hope for.


• Solar Butterfly gives wings to our desires to escape life's horrors.


• Bokev Momen observes a Mormon missionary dealing with alien abduction.


• Mary Mother of Nanites provides absolution from a peculiar sort of deity.


• Eyes of the Beholder explores if art can provide sancification—especially if it's alien.


• Bonus story: Time Forks shows D. Michael's process of writing from first draft to finished product.
