The short story is a snapshot of its author's perception of the world in which he or she is living, its denizens and events illustrating (not always intentionally) the dominant features of the times. F.Scott Fitzgerald's many stories, for example,illuminated the hedonism of the 1920s, while those of master spy storyteller, Eric Ambler, evoked the clouds gathering over Europe in the nineteen-thirties. Frederick Harrison's focus is on the second decade of the 21st Century,his stories sometimes serious, sometimes not. The "Universal Toka-Woka," for example, is a device for delivering fast food over the Internet; the "#TheJesusApp" chronicles the adventures of three young geeks seeking fame and fortune channeling their inner Zuckerberg. "A Distant Date Certain,"however, tells what happens when the brilliant success of NASA's interstellar exploration program reveals more than we really want to know. There are eight short stories in the collection, the title novella being sort of a bonus. It is the story of a man and woman who meet in a movie theater while hiding from life, and are reborn.
