About Rattled Mind

Rattled Mind is comprised mostly of flash fiction stories, with some longer ones interspersed. All but a handful of stories are science fiction. All are based on my distorted view of the world around me. These stories are projections of today's life into future possibilities.

I take those observations and put a future twist on them.
