Beyond the Road of Repercussions: a short story anthology

There are a number of idioms warning us about the consequences of our decisions and actions like ‘what goes around, comes around’, and ‘as you sow, so shall you reap’, or ‘the chickens will come home to roost’, and my favorite, ‘you mess with the bull, you get the horn’. Repercussions are a fact of life, as is made abundantly clear to these protagonists in this short story anthology.
Retired industrialist, Millard Eastman fails to heed the admonitions passed on by a real estate agent and decides to continue his lifelong propensity for ‘messing with mother nature’.
Columnist Malcolm Knowles and his friends, Janet and Rob, bask in the glow of their inflated egos (and pocket-books), dismissing the needs of those less fortunate.
Pharmaceutical executive, Dr. Steven Sampson decides his personal interests trump not only those of his ailing wife but those of a general public, some of whose lives could hinge on his scientific integrity.
Lounge Lizard Ralph Dern’s cheating has finally ‘bugged’ his wife to the point where she has ‘conjured’ up some help.
Retired academic Carter LaChance has allowed a desperate desire to cloud his rational mind leaving him in the grasping arms of superstition.
School bus driver, Mary Shelly, really hasn’t done anything overtly self-serving. She just secretly wallows in anger and self-pity releasing those negative vibs out into the world.
Join me on a journey with these six tales of speculative fiction that go ‘Beyond the Road of Repercussions’.
