SATISFACTION GUARANTEED tells of a young woman in British Columbia who struggles with a notion. Could there really be someone for everyone? 3. THE DREAMER AND THE DREAM Two cops arrive at an apartment building. And the crime? Dreams made reality in the first degree? 4. BATTLE Caroline, a technician in a government research lab, can earn a better life if she sacrifices the freedom of Elizabeth, a subject for deadly experiments.

Wonderful collection of unique short stories

My Favorite was the first story - it felt real and solid, yet ethereal. The ending was super and yet poignant. The writing was perfect for this type of story.

The second story was excellent and I loved the clever ending.

The third story was a wonderful fantasy and if you are fan of a certain TV show that aired in the US from 1995 to 2001 you will get a major kick out of it.

The last story and the longest was too intense for this reader and after the fifth chapter I cheated and read the end. I am still uncertain if it was real or not. The whole story had a Matrix like feel to it. The author was able to portray unbearable cruelty and yet not graphically.
