Fate Fate. What is it? 'Writers and readers are slaves to fate, chance, queens and kings, and desperate people, where poison, war, unjustness, and sickness dwell.' Nine Transcendent Authors have taken this paraphrase of John Donne to heart and created nine distinct stories that touch on fate in all its manifestations. A forever long hospital corridor, a WWII castle under siege, mystery of a missing male member, visions of an alternate future, dignity or death, gay love and a horrible war, the passion of aliens, escaped cons wash ashore, and a cancer survivor's choices? It's all about Fate. There are no dull or boring stories within these pages. Bring a beer, a glass of wine, and something to munch on while you sit in your favorite chair. And delve into Fate. Recognize it and welcome it.
