Improbable Cause

The world was watching as the lights went out in New Orleans during the biggest football game of the year. The official report blamed the outage on a faulty relay device. But what if it had a different cause?Strange things are happening, but no one wants to talk about them. Whether it’s the tales of people with extraordinary abilities, or the rumors of a secret government organization established to hunt them down, few can deny that the world has become a strange and sometimes frightening place. In the middle of it all, a few individuals try to make sense of the mystery and hunt down clues to its origin, while others can only try to deal with the consequences.Book One of the Universe series – This collection is the first part of a serialized short story series I began in 2012 as a way to experiment with mechanics of storytelling. After completing the first few, I realized that they were starting to form a part of a larger narrative, so I've rewritten some of the older pieces and have reformatted others to give a more consistent style throughout. Each story is intended to work as a stand alone tale, but also in conjunction with the rest. Consequently, in many of the stories, there are clues and exposition that give you insight into what is happening in the other stories in the shared universe. I hope you enjoy these stories and will continue to follow these adventures.
