Indivdually Published Short Fictions

© KJ Hannah Greenberg, 2010

Slipstream is to fiction what ultrarunning is to track and field, a chance to take skills far away from ordinary expectations. In strange plot loops, especially as refracted through the optical systems of oddball characters, such narratives can grow wild.
