Everyone loves magic. A good magician can make you forget it's a trick. Some are so good, one could wonder if they really are magic.
Jeff the Magician is happy doing birthday parties, gigs at local restaurants and spending time with his son. He always worked alone and thought he always would. But that and the rest of his life is all about to change.

There are many things about sleep that are still a mystery. Some people claim they can control their dreams, or even catch glimpses of the future.
But what if dreaming is more than a state of mind? What if there's an ...
Max Fathom is a self-described Simulation Hacker. He has come to the conclusion that our world—in fact, our entire universe—is nothing more than an massively elaborate computer program, and we are all just bits of code in some cosmic video game.
Most of his friends pass off his world view as a harmless eccentricity. That is until they find themselves at its mercy.

What is it about the full moon that inspires so many different things. A romantic evening illuminated by its silvery light can be the setting for a heartwarming love story. But hospital emergency rooms claim it's a time that marks an increase in their business.
The full moon can also be a harbinger of things of a more malevolent nature. Creatures you wouldn't want to come upon…

Some people love Halloween. The costumes, the candy, children parading to your front door begging for treats.
Harrison Hardigan is not one of those people.
However, he is about to be given a rare gift, a chance to examine the choices and experiences that have made him the man he is, and hopefully learn from them. But will it be enough to make him change?

Who doesn’t like a campfire story? Those scary tales told by the dying light of burning logs that leave us lying in our sleeping bags, eyes open, wondering if maybe it wasn’t just a story…
Like this tale, about a man, alone in a cabin in the woods, who opens his door to a stranger with a strange legend to share that turns out to be more than just a tall tale.
So, lay another log on the fi...
Leap day comes but once every 1461 days. It is a quirk of our calendar based on the discrepancy between the time it takes the Earth to revolve around the sun versus the number of times it spins on its axis.
Most people think it's just one extra ordinary day, but what if instead, it is an extraordinary day. One on which those who have it as a birthday can do something magical.

Everyone loves a good time travel story. We even have a fondness for the bad ones. There's something about the idea of being able to travel backwards and forward through time that is appealing.
But is it really possible? Scientists tell us no, but wouldn't we rather live in a world where Jean Claude Van Damme is policing the timeline and keeping us safe?

Dreams are a great mystery of the human mind. Many people believe that they give us a glimpse into our true selves. Some even believe they can foretell the future.
Every once in a while you find yourself in one that seems so real you can't tell it's a dream. Which begs the question, what if what you think of as real life is really the dream?

Have you ever seen a man on a busy street corner, or perhaps on the side of a highway, maybe in the crowd at a stadium, holding up a sign saying, "The end is nigh"? You might assume he's crazy.
But what if he's not? What if the end of days is just around the corner, waiting for that final sign, something innocuous, the last piece of a hidden puzzle dropping into place. Perhaps it's as sim...

A special presentation of one of my stories as produced by another fiction podcast, The Other Stories.
It seems everywhere you go these days, people are talking about AI, Artificial Intelligence, how it’s going to take over many jobs humans do now.

There are places on Earth where no human has ever set foot. Some of them are probably not too far from where you live. A steep mountain slope, an island surrounded by a muddy swamp, or a dark corner of a thick forest.
What mysteries might these places hold? New species are discovered every day. Some of them are harmless. But others are deadly in ways you can't even imagine.

Have you ever wished you just had a little more time? Or perhaps the ability to go back in time—just a bit—to fix something you did wrong, make a different decision about which line to get in at the grocery store, or whether or not to eat that leftover bagel at work.
Meet Edward, the perfect example of the absent-minded professor, whose brilliance as a theoretical physicist can unlock the...
