About this ebook
Explore interpretations of the afterlife by traveling alongside a few unfortunate souls. In this collection, three odd tales are twisted with bits of sci-fi and horror that will leave you deep in thought long after The End.
The After: An elderly trainer teaches a young heir the proper way to fulfill blessings in a post-apocalyptic world. With training this near perfect there's no possible room for error.
The Unveiling: A persistent scientist will stop at nothing to prove the existence of space-time anomalies, even though what he discovers is truly shocking.
Dead End: An obsessed hospice worker is determined to know if people are given signs to warn them of their deaths ahead of time. Perhaps her research can answer that question.

The After/ L.L. Sanders. -- 1st ed.
To those who love dark, twisted tales that leave you in a deep state of thought.
