Welcome to a future Earth, where forty short stories/chapters have extreme consequences on both Mother Earth and Father Universe.
The short stories show how our precious existence can end at any obliterating moment. This decimation may cause nothing to exist from our point of view on our "grain of sand" known to us feeble humans as "eArth."
As an example, Earth could, in all actuality, get hit by a rogue planet. These planets traverse the cosmos by traveling at over 30 million miles per hour. They are the fastest moving celestial bodies out in the universe.
This example is but one of forty different short stories where Humanity questions the length of time, if any, of their survival upon a possible cosmic collision heading straight for Earth's doorstep.
Cosmological cataclysmic events could even cause a chain reaction. This phenomenon will annihilate everything ever known from Humanity's perspective in our universe and any other existing universes.
Take a psychologically (possibly) many horrifying trips across the planet and the cosmos. You will see what happens in situations where the cosmos decides to fight back against the tyrannies and inequities of Humanity. The universe will leave a path of countless fatalities in its wake.
After the dust settles, you may or may not survive, although the odds of survival are not looking to be in your favor. Unfortunately, you never know what happens until it happens. At that point, it may be too late to save Humanity.
This book is essential for those who like the classic "The Twilight Zone" series. These stories clearly show how these forty stories could have been in the vane of this immortal television series.
So surrender yourselves to the untamed cosmos and see if Humanity survives each cosmic bullet thrust upon them...
