About Between Reality and Insanity

A collection of speculative fiction stories through space, time and reality. These 20 plus stories fit some place on the spectrum between reality and insanity. Tales of tomorrow, the bizarre, the far-reaching, the tragic and light-hearted. When the world starts losing the ability to see colour, Trish uncovers some deeply held biases towards all things that she once saw as coloured. Marcus is so intent on living that he spent years in cryogenics waiting for a cure to his disease. When the power goes down and he awakes to a diseased-ridden helpless society, he eventually finds hope and something worth dying for. Sisters of the saviour caste's hive mind hunt down the Sand Scrapers to protect their own. As individual of the hind mind gets left behind during a scuffle and loses connection with the rest of the Sisterhood. On her own she struggles to come to terms with the concept of individuality.
