Short stories

From A. J. Payler, master of modern fiction behind Bank Error in Your Favor, The Killing Song, and Terror Next Door comes Should the World Fail to Fall Apart—six stories of people pushed beyond forgiveness in a world without pity, personal struggle against overwhelming odds, & the resilience that resides at the center of the human heart.

Featuring: "An Abyss Below Every Floor": Years of research… decades of study… and it’s all led up to this. But even with the eyes of the world upon him and the backing of the world’s most powerful billionaire, he never could have predicted the horrific truth that lies at the heart of everything.

"Spoilers on Page Thirteen": Don’t dare skip ahead… the spoilers will come for you soon enough! Unemployment can make a person desperate… but will Jamie be able to make the grade—or will the spoilers on the next page ruin it for him?

"Ma Always Said Redheads Were Trouble": Mick makes bad choices and blames bad luck when his life goes wrong. Virginia is an international mystery woman at the top of her game with a plan to boost her power to new levels. Unfortunately, to pull it off she needs Mick’s help.

"Buried, Frozen": The only thing that made those seemingly unending days in prison bearable was knowing what was waiting for him on the outside… but he never could have imagined what he’d find waiting for him, cold and dark at the bottom of that hole.

"Dry Eye Syndrome": Midland City's resident superhero can fight off his nemeses all day and night... but his ultimate vulnerability might be his all too human heart.

Also featuring "You Are the Protagonist" (as seen in Flash in a Flash) and the original comic book script version of "Dry Eye Syndrome"!
