Mojies

Five Short Stories on the Lighter Side

By: Robert Charlton

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

These five short stories with a lighthearted sci-fi / fantasy bent can be read in a single sitting (~30 pages total). In “Mojies,” a powerful senator wrestles with the arrival of interstellar “pets” that threaten to undermine his career. In “Ship’s Log of Anse-Animolak,” we learn of aliens who want the planet for their own purposes but take the long road to getting there. “Land Grab” amusingly describes why we may not want to wait too much longer before establishing those permanent bases on the Moon and Mars. "Tokens of Power” is a lighthearted take on how everyday objects can acquire fantastical powers when wielded wisely. And “Dink-Soup” is a short nonsense romp à la Lewis Carroll. If you’re looking for a quick read on the lighter side, this little collection of stories might be just the ticket.
