Interesting, thanks for participating.
You’re welcome! 🙂
Sounds like someone is one a major power trip. In Scifi they usually find out absolute power is not always a good thing.
Great 56!
Thanks!
You’re right, it’s not a good thing. It ends in the protagonist getting sucked up into a blackhole.
Wow! Destruction in a single gulp…very intriguing.

More like self-destruction. This is such an irritating character!
Wow! That’s one doozy of a creation!
Here’s Mine
Oh it is! Just reading about it made me feel kind of dizzy.
Ah, a need for power! Sounds familiar…and like an enticing read.

The collection as a whole is quite good. Not as good as Detective Stories, also from the Read Hot Reads series, but good.
