Stories in Future Tense is filled with dystopian angst, other world drama, earthly creepiness, and even more imagination and talent than ever. The second in the series, Word Branch is proud to offer a collection of stories by new and emerging authors who are rising bright stars in the SF horizon. The Word Branch Publishing Science Fiction Anthology is the result of an annual contest open to writers around the world. All profits go toward a literacy charity chosen on the basis of need and reach. Everyone involved with the project—editors, writers, the illustrator, and technical support—donate their time and resources to make the project a success.
