Science fiction, fantasy, horror, and nostalgia are the ingredients for this fourth short fiction collection by Oregon author L. Wade Powers. The Time Bubble and Other Distortions of Reality, explores what happens when you observe past events without physically traveling in time, discovers confrontation and comfort in a cheap bottle of wine, and reveals a day in the life of the communal long-haired set. Readers will meet rebellious teens, would-be retirees, a night nurse with a secret, and a host of other characters as Powers delivers the curious delights that are the hallmark of his fiction.
