Tomorrow can be just as strange or fantastical as the far-off future, but no less exciting. Collecting a variety of stories, both those published previously and new originals, Gwen Tolios's awaited solo anthology is full of tales bursting with rich characters planning and facing the future, regardless of the situation or consequence. A girl determines that being the sole girl in the league isn't going to stop her from playing for her high school hockey team. A cyberspace addict signs a DNR, knowing his addiction will lead to his death. A superhero fakes his death, hoping to focus on building a relationship with his nemesis. A sister confesses her lack of willingness to come home. A genetic engineer creating award-winning show cats takes up his next project. Filled with contemporary, superhero, and science fiction short stories, this collection has something for anyone ready to charge forward.

From treasure-hunting contracts to the barters you make for spellwork at the night market, one has to be careful and purposeful in dealing with fae. It also behooves you to check the substitutions you use in a spell, especially if it's your first cast as a witch, and make sure every item you purchase secondhand doesn't come with a curse.Each of these fantasy short stories explores the give-and-take between the fantastical and the not, and while sometimes the outcome is positive that might not always be the case.Collecting a combination of previously published and new short stories by Gwen Tolios, this collection is a perfect escape.
