I swear I'm not crazy. One minute I'm closing up the coffee shop during a power outage, and the next I'm waking up in yesterday's clothes with a migraine and a stranger's phone in my bag. Oh, and no memory of the last thirty-six days.

Small towns are supposed to be boring. I guess mine didn't get the memo. And the guy who might hold the key to everything?

In 1945, the U.S. Army recovered a meteorite containing alien crystals—stones capable of opening microscopic wormholes. One experiment went wrong. Very wrong.

Forty years later, Luke Boyd and his four best friends in small town Texas accidentally uncover one of those crystals during a reckless Fourth of July prank. They think it's just a strange rock.

Being a weapons manufacturer was surprisingly easy. At least, it was for me, but mostly because I had a magical tablet imparting knowledge and a half dozen goblin babes that worked hard, producing these things. Yeah, business was booming. Our enchanted weapons were fetching five digits each, and we had plans for new and improved weapons and armor that would blow everyone away. Maybe literally. What to do with all that money? Well, I tried to decide between vintage video games, our own racetrack, hotrodding old cars, and ahem, fun times. I couldn't decide, so we just went with all of the above.

Chez Charles Dickens, Noël n’est jamais qu’une fête — c’est un état d’âme. Dans L’Arbre de Noël, court récit méditatif publié en 1850 dans la revue Household Words, il ne s’agit pas d’une intrigue au sens traditionnel, mais d’une réminiscence poétique, un voyage intérieur à travers la mémoire et l’imagination. À la lueur d’un arbre de Noël illuminé, le narrateur contemple les jouets suspendus à ses branches, et chacun devient pour lui le déclencheur d’un souvenir, d’un rêve ou d’une réflexion sur la vie, l’enfance et la mort.
