A Bitter Draught
The main character finds herself in an empty subway station on her usually busy morning commute. Until she notices she's all alone, she's completely absorbed in how much she doesn't want to face this infamous day. As she descends the subway stairs she finds herself in a dark but tidy cellar with the most amazing wine--it glows green with its own energy.
The Sculpture's Lair
This story opens in the sculpture hall of an art museum. But a wrong turn lands our heroine in a working artist's studio, where she comes face to face with being subsumed in Christ's image.
The Resting Place
An insomniac mom spends her time sipping chamomile tea and making lists of things that need to get done in the next few days. Somehow she slips into a dream where instead of a list for every area of her life, she gets a ball to juggle for each area, like work, home, school etc. She's juggling more and more until she finally looses her footing and falls down, cracking her head in the process. She wakes up in a strange cabin that could be either comforting or creepy, but she's too exhausted and hurt to really care which.
The Wounded One
After the final fight in a relationship that was supposed to last, the main character retreats deep within herself to encase and enshrine her broken heart. She's fully prepared to camp-out here, fully protected from the world around her, for the rest of her life if need be. Healing seems out of the question, but then a mysterious man knocks on her heart.
Freedom's Paradox
It's the same car accident dream almost every night: her car is zooming out of control straight for a concrete traffic barrier. Instead of waking up, the main character is trapped in her dream as time stops. To her horror, there is someone else here that's not frozen and he's coming towards her down the shoulder of the highway.
The Abyss
In classic Alice in Wonderland style, the main character is able to slip through a mirror in her house and what she finds on the other side is a mystery. She had asked to see what was wrong with her heart, and instead she finds herself standing next to a bottomless abyss that looks like it's had bombs dropped into the sides of it. As there is no one around to explain, she's left to explore the chasm. She finds some unexpected things in the craters that have been blasted into the walls of the bottomless pit.
Two Ships
This story takes place on a sailing ship. But it is quickly discovered that this ship has some real problems: it's been taking on water longer than anyone can remember and there is a ship killing storm looming on the horizon.
