"Curated" by Megan Wildhood (Linktree)

On my fifth loop, I finally look at her eyes. It’s like they cracked open on impact. A course of needles dashes down my spine, this time not from the injury I got a similar way this young woman who maybe jumped and landed on my rug did. “I’m just as stunned as you."

"The Many Lives of Max Peck" by Martin L. Shoemaker (Twitter) (Facebook)

The differences between universes are very small, at least the universes that we can reach. If they were larger, it would take too much energy to cross that many Schrodingers.

But still, sometimes those differences surprise me.

"Captain Mouse and the Big Jungle Rumble" by Devin Marcus

When I was a child, my sister and I would bug him every Saturday night for the next installation of the ongoing adventures of Captain Mouse, the world’s tiniest superhero. But there was always one night’s story that stuck with me into adulthood. It was about Captain Mouse’s trip to the jungle. I learned from Mom that Dad fought in Vietnam a few years later...

"Defender of the weak,

Speaker for the meek,

Captain Mouse! He'll save them all,

If they're big or if they're small.

Captain Mouse! With all his friends

Your favorite story now begins!"
