I was given the opportunity to read four short stories out of Flight of Destiny by Francis Powell. Each unique tale explores a dark recess of the mind where emotions are manipulated and reality isn't quite what it seems.
I love the dark tone of the short stories and how the underlying theme of each is this sense of shock over what humans would be capable of if there were no reality based limits. While the stories do not tie together, the tone of the work connects them all and makes it easy to flow from one story to the next.
I enjoyed these tales as they gave me a fantastic break from my daily routine and I enjoyed remembering them and day dreaming about them afterwards. They're a little Ray Bradbury, a little Stephen King, but with Powell's own unique twists. Very interesting read.
