Prophecies

A tense, inventive collection of speculative short fiction about the all-seeing eye of prophecy…

A cat and the woman she is bound to make a civilization-altering discovery. An ex-model becomes a celebrity when she is given a prophecy about the world’s end. A crone with magical knitting needles tries to weave obedience into a young villager.

In these five works, prophecies are told and heeded — or ignored. No matter how willing we are to heed them, prophecies often find a way to be true after all. This collection reminds us to listen when the universe comes calling.
