Science Fiction & Fantasy

“A theory emerged, with testable predictions, and there, like a candy apple, hung the omega symbol that unlocked it all. He knew what he needed to do...” Reminiscent of Rod Serling’s “The Twilight Zone” and Roald Dahl’s TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED, Garry Abbott’s THE DIMENSION SCALES AND OTHER STORIES is a collection of fourteen short speculative fictions.

We follow his diary as he attempts to understand what has happened to him, while satisfying his 17th Century captors that he is indeed from the future. Which wouldn't have been so bad if he had any knowledge at all about how things in the future actually worked.
