    About this ebook

         Decisions have a ripple effect, like tossing a rock into a river. All the ever expanding swells are rarely seen until the wave creates tragedy. But what if you could test decisions first without consequences? What if you could know which path to take? 

         Drawn to a mysterious island, people live alongside themselves as they play out their choices. Once a decision is made, they resume normal life. 

         What's behind this? Is it science, magic, or something else? Whatever it is, three residents will learn the secret in this collection about Parallel Lives.

      DEDICATION

      For Yvonne who encourages me with each story I write. Asking for a simple story about plants blossomed into a much bigger project. Thank you.

      A note from the author

      This collection of stories began as a writing experiment to challenge myself. I wanted to see if it was possible to write interesting stories without names or dialogue.

      I wonder who she is. I see her every day, if not on the street, then through her window. The window allows me to see into her condo briefly each day, but I never see her face.

      As I sit in my apartment waiting to catch a glimpse of her with her cat, I wonder what my life would be like if I received the promotion and my loan had been approved. It could have been my
