We can see the results of their choices in these fantastical worlds. Told through the lives of those affected, often as unintended effects on those lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause that is the best way to tell stories, to let them explore their own themes, is by telling those stories through the fictional characters who \"lived\" them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere seems too much harshness, too much insensitiveness to others in our current culture. Even the word \"intolerance\" has been twisted to mean \"you don't agree with me or my ideas, so...\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these stories, good wins out. There are no true tragedies here, other than what lies beyond the main character's own stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are bad consequences to treating people badly. Because the Golden Rule is one natural phenomenon that is inexorable - as you treat others is how you wind up treated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut we'll leave it at that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this hefty anthology of stories was pulled from three years of short-fiction output. And stories are meant to be entertaining, not preachy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of these authors has grown in style and ability during that time. And the stories are not accumulated by their growing finesse, but by relevance to exploring consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere you'll find satire, romance, adventure, and mystery - even redemption at times. All a quiet way to distract yourself from our currently too-serious world of elections, politicians, and governments run amuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach is short, but easy to get through in small snippets of time. This is no over-arcing set of tales set in any epic world. Instead, these worlds are not too different from our own - or what our world could wind up being. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile it's true that you don't always get the candidate you voted for, it's also true that you get the government you put up with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause elections do have consequences. Even in fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnthology containing: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoppel by S.
