Why & What If?: Mind Trip

What would you do if you encountered an alien civilization? What about time travelers? Everyone on earth has had slightly spooky experiences, although they might not be as extreme as those examples. It might just be a conversation with a mysterious stranger-or a feeling you get every time you pass a particular place. These small moments are usually ignored by the rational parts of our brains. We justify them without truly examining them.

Why & What If doesn't shy away from the questions. In these stories, author Mike Rodriguez takes these small moments and expands them to earth-shattering sizes. These are stories of the outlandish and the fantastic. With action and humor, these stories take unexplained experiences to astounding conclusions.

You'll sympathize with and maybe even envy Rodriguez's everyman protagonists as they encounter entities and adventures straight out of science fiction. With gentle humor and a plainspoken style, Rodriguez fully conveys the wonder of unexpected occurrences. After reading his short stories, you may find yourself thinking a little differently when you're alone late at night. Something amazing could be waiting for you.
