A zombie apocalypse. The lost memories of a shapeshifter from another world. One small act in the middle of a war. A dream held deep inside one’s heart. Tales of Dreams: Stories of Hope, Resilience, Humanity, & Magic is a collection of four short stories that celebrate what it means to be human, to have dreams, and the hard-sometimes bitter-fight to hold onto hope no matter the circumstance. From a zombie apocalypse to the hopes of a young boy seeking escape, dreams are a powerful force that feed hope and steel resilience. About the Stories: The Light KeepersThe New York City skyline is crumbling. For all she knows, Rae and her family are the only ones alive, but even that becomes questionable as she finds herself broken and shattered. The city that had given her so much hope from a distance now stands as a symbol of a world in ruins. The only survivors? They’re dead, but walking the earth as if they forgot to lie down. And they’re getting closer to Rae and her family. Are they really safe in the lighthouse? Or have they survived this long only to be infected? Creature of Unknown OriginAva remembers nothing, except for the nightmares that plague her every night. Spencer says he’s protecting her and makes really good pancakes. Ava knows she shouldn’t trust him, but she does. It’s that simple…until it isn’t. When both the monster from Ava’s nightmares and the people Spencer has been hiding her from finally catch up to them, the pair is forced to abandon the secluded life they’d built for themselves and rely on Spencer’s team to keep them safe. Thrust into complete chaos, Ava struggles to reconcile with her returned memories and the existence of the creature from her nightmares.
