Two boys, brothers, who lose their campsite and find shelter in a strange brick structure.

Laura J. Campbell has gathered twenty-eight of her stories that have been lost to the wilds of the internet or fallen into the virtual dust bin of the out-of-print. She presents them here not just to preserve them, but also to share her experiences though her writing. Laura helps us live a lifetime across the globe and beyond in this pages of this book, spanning from childhood to adulthood, from strange but exciting lands on the other side of the world to our own transformed homes and personal spaces. Her timelines span from the age of Vikings as they grapple with Mayan cult sacrifices to far into the future where space travel has captivated us, and an apocalypse has changed us. Here you will find extraordinary humans, inner demons, and travelers and gatekeepers wiser than us... and you will learn to head their warnings.

No matter your reading preference, you'll find a story that will touch your heart,

scare your soul, and ignite your wonder when you visit this book.
