    About this ebook

    Are we simply the sum of the choices we’ve made? What happened to all the other possibilities?
    Grant can't keep his reality in focus. His daughter thinks he's having senior moments, but he knows that's not it - those voices he's hearing just don't care how embarrassing they make things. He's never been one to talk to himself, but maybe it's time. How else will he know if his life is coming apart or coming together?
    What does it all add up to? Read it and find out.
    "The Re-Entanglement of Grant Decker" is a speculative fiction short story, and is also available in the collection “Yet Still Even More Things I Could Get OUT OF MY MIND.”
