Eleanor

Jason Gurley

When a terrible accident claims the life of Eleanor's twin, her family is left in tatters, and her reality begins to unravel, dropping her in and out of unfamiliar worlds. When she returns to her own time and place, hours and days have flown by without her. One fateful day, Eleanor leaps from a cliff... and vanishes. In a strange in-between place, she meets a mysterious stranger who understands the weight of her family history: Eleanor's twin wasn't the only tragic loss. And unless Eleanor can master her strange new abilities, she may not be the last.

The Dark Age

Jason Gurley

On the day she was born, he left for the stars.

He watches her grow up on screens. Misses her first words. Misses her first steps. She's never kissed his scratchy cheek, or fallen asleep on his shoulder. He's never wiped away her tears, or sung her to sleep.

Now she's a toddler, and he's about to enter hibernation sleep -- and when he wakes nearly 150 years in the future, his family will be gone.

This is a short story for every father who never wants his daughter to grow up.

The author self-published this short story in 2014. It was reprinted in Lightspeed, January 2016.
