Nebulae are outer space's stellar nurseries, swirling vortices of hot dense gas where shiny new stars are born. Be it a chase through a time-space portal, a venture into a fascinating new biome, or a strange encounter with fabulous beasts, I hope that you enjoy these starry tales that have grown from the maelstrom of story-dust in my mind. United by their brevity, this little collection of stories offers bite-size science fiction and fantasy for days when you can't face that fifty-chapter red giant.
