    About this ebook

    A house on fire, a hunted dragon, a lost tower with a magic pen, a robbery at a shop, and a killer lurking in your nightmares... Suspend your disbelief and plunge head-first into this quirky, nerve-wracking, and sometimes irreverent short- and mini stories collection, with a poem or two.

    If you like to read a book in one sitting, this is the ebook for you.

     

    Vanesa L. Perillo and W. W. Tries are the same person under different pen names. She's an environmental researcher, educator and fiction writer who lives in Argentina, splitting her time between solving science questions and losing herself in the corners of her mind.
