A Great Death Story A man and his daughter drive into a massive meteor shower that disrupts their lives, but it’s only the beginning. It’s the beginning of the end, or is it? An Apocalyptic tale that focuses on individuals trying to maintain love, hope and family amongst death and dying. Note that this is a VERY dark story, a sort of anti-post-apocalyptic story. It's an interesting 'reinterpretation', but if you're squeamish, you may want to avoid it.
A Glass Balls Story In this story concluding the series, modern-day Livy enjoys the favors of three men and two women at once while, in medieval Italy, Dom impregnates two women and reunites with the woman who, years before, made a man of him. (There's more about the story in my blog.)
