Description  

"Diary of a Man Who Set Out to Prove the Earth is Flat" is a short story that is presented as the journal entries of an explorer who has embarked on his most important expedition ever. It is an expedition to reveal to all, the truth he knows, that the Earth is  actually flat, not round as we have been led to believe. How does his voyage go? Was he successful in his endeavors? Um, no, he wasn't. Because the Earth isn't flat! The story is satire of flat earthers though the main target of the story is climate change deniers. "The Church Of The Resurrection Inc." is a short story about two followers of The Church Of The Resurrection who dutifully perform actual, physical resurrections in the name of their church. The problem is, every time they do perform a resurrection on someone, something goes very wrong. They are baffled and seek the answers to explain what is happening. Eventually, they do solve the mystery but, in doing so, they find out that The Church Of The Resurrection Inc. isn't exactly what they believed it to be. "The Persarius Experiment" is a short story about the morally and ethically dubious nature of psychological, behavioral social experiments that have been performed over the years. Dr. Persarius has a vision for the experiments he conducts, but, is that vision something that anyone should see, and are his experiments actually a necessity for the greater good? Well, I suppose that would be open for debate. "Three 10 Minute Plays About Donald J.erkass Drumpf" are three separate ten minute plays about Donald Trump. Based on the title, you really shouldn't need for me to reveal my opinion of Donald Trump to get an idea of how he is presented. Drumpf was actually his original family name before it was changed to Trump by one of his ancestors. Donald Drumpf, a much more fitting name for the man that he is. The final story of the book, "Exploring the Mysteries of Space: You Might Not Like What You Find" is a short story about the presence of life on a planet in the galaxy being discovered. When this occurs, it is a time of great celebration as, for so many years that had been the ultimate goal of space exploration. A scientist is sent out to the planet to observe and study the alien creatures. It was all anyone had wanted but, well, I suppose the saying, be careful what you wish for would be appropriate because the alien life discovered turns out to be the stuff of nightmare and are worse than anyone ever could have imagined. The reader will be shocked to hear the details of the alien species that is discovered and, most definitely they should be afraid, they should be very, very afraid.
