Life is full of surprises. All sorts of events happen around us. Some are familiar occurrences, others defy explanation. This collection of stories continues where Shifting Tides I left off, recounting instances where science and fiction blur into possible realities. The truth is always somewhere between reality and the imagination. Each story lends itself to thinking and reflecting over and over. There are absolute truths and fictions throughout. The challenge is for you to decide what you want to believe. What comes as fiction may, in fact, become reality in the near future. As the author, I lived every possibility in my imagination as I wrote each one. Some stories have large segments of actual happenings, others are pure fiction. I let you decide which is which. Read these stories and enjoy them. Many could be true.
