REALITY IS MALLEABLE HERE
Have you ever read something that forever changed the way you look at the world?
This site is dedicated to finding the stories that resonate and cause a ripple effect because the author was able to put into words something I’ve struggled to understand, or has created such a simple, wonderful, original mind-picture that it makes me stop and laugh out loud at its that utter fabulousness. IE: In John Scalzi’s Agent to the Stars when the alien needs to be transported home to the agent’s house.
Even telling you about this scene lightens my mood and sticks a silly grin on my face.
There’s another scene in Shari Green’s Missing Mike where, during a wildfire, a young girl goes out of her way to reunite a family with their cat, even though she hasn’t been able to find her dog, Mike. The moment when she’s happy for them and heartbroken for herself is a very special moment. The clash of emotions is powerful.
Books like this need to be celebrated. Send me the name of a story that shaped your reality along with a month and day, and let’s start a calendar.
I declare April 24th to be Missing Mike Day
