Sci-Shorts-200 Science-Fiction Short-Stories Hivent: An Enlitenment The Quarantine Report for the Defense The Escape Clause	Early Non-Space Shorts Most of the short-stories in this section were first published in the book "Dead Ends" in 1995. The book was self-published by the author and very few copies were made. Many of these same stories, along with others in this section, were first published in Ntzeon Sci-fi and Fantasy digest between 1996 and 98. Dead Ends was a book of short-stories, mainly sci-fi and fantasy, with a couple closer to the realm of reality fiction (The Mediocre Man and The Drifter). The main theme of most of these stories was the source of the title, as it was primarily concerned with desperate characters in precarious situations, all of which had to act in some way to resolve their very real problems. The essential moral of them all, for the most part, was the conclusion that some kind of action was inevitable, in every case, for any solutions to be possible. In other words, doing nothing is not an option. In some cases, however, the results are not always as hopeful as we may expect. Hivent: An Enlitenment is about a man who has lost everything; his job, home, family, etc... and sets out across the state to another city to try to start a new life, and picks up a stranger on the road who is running for his life from someone, and receives a very special gift for his help. The Quarantine is about an alien visitation to Earth which results in a rather dark and disconcerting discovery about human civilization; something to think about. Report for the Defense is about an unfortunate soul who fails to realize how extremely desperate his situation is until a stranger visits and informs him that the only possible solution to his problems involves a detailed explanation of how and why his previous life took such a negative turn for the worse. The Escape Clause is somewhat of a sequel to Report for the Defense and is about a man trapped in purgatorial limbo at the edge of hell who discovers a way to write himself out.
