I had a short story called “The Stone” published in Between Realms, an anthology by Dragon Soul Press. A copy is available here to purchase if you’d like.

Living in Japan, trains pretty quickly become a part of your life (unless you live way out in the middle of nowhere), especially in the major cities. While there have been some pretty horrible events that have happened on trains in Japan in the past, I think for the most part, it’s a safe and efficient mode of travel.

But it made me wonder, what if that’s because there’s someone out there trying to make it that way? It was just a fun mental exercise I had one day, but it led me to this story and the question of: If someone makes everyone forget you exist in your realm, then moves you to a different realm, did you ever actually exist in that first one?

Then I began to wonder: And what if there was someone who, for some reason, just would not be moved? What then?

The story’s ending is fairly open-ended, and I hope anyone who feels like reading it will decide for themselves what happens next.
