Waken

Gary Javin had the perfect life, success, family and friends. Then, with a freak storm, it was all washed away, leaving behind chaos and confusion. The pieces that he desperately sought were slipping quickly away, and some were not happy that he was even there. But he could not return home. Maybe, if he found her, Holly, she would be able to save him, but time was running out. And that other life was catching up to him.

This novella bites at the heels of stories such as Dark Matter and Counterpart.

Melissa R. Mendelson has been writing short stories and poetry since high school.  Her focus has been primarily horror and dystopian, but she also makes room for science-fiction.  She has a particular interest in identity, who we really are especially in the face of high stakes, unspeakable evils.  With events in 2019/2020 when she was faced with a crisis of fertility and motherhood along with the pandemic, she created a prose poetry collection, This Will Remain With Us and a short story collection, Stories Written On Covid Walls, which were both published by Wild Ink Publishing.
