• HALO TRANSPORTATION SERVICE – A PARABLE

  

  Israel was the first country to invest in the new teleportation technology. Rows of Halos appeared, bright neon circles suspended from wires.

Then the disappearances started, people sucked into the…

• 50/50

  

  Todd cursed himself. He inched out further. The frame and glass creaked. He froze. He peered down, trying to make out the room below. It definitely wasn’t Lacey’s bedroom. She had told him the skylight on the left. Only now did he realise he didn’t know if that was left as he faced the house,…
