Slap-on-the-Wrist Stories

Slap-on-the-Wrist Stories (2019)
Gloomy Seahorse Press

Numbers control the galaxies and atoms of the universe but they don't always control us. Freedom lovers seek to break out of the mathematical prisons. There are a certain number of us. Perhaps you are one of them. We go on journeys and have adventures.

But our adventures generate new numbers and we only learn this truth later. The stories in this book are guided by precise numerological constraints but paradoxically they find a greater freedom as a result.

And so do we.
