From Amazon: This book contains three separate and unusual stories set in alternate realities. The first story, "Martian's Earth Conquest," tells the tale of a person who is coping with the loss of someone special. The second tale, "Is it Really Not Possible?," makes you wonder if a man and a woman can truly be just friends. And the last of the three, "Sci-Fi," is a sad tale about a girl who hates robots and a humanoid who serves her. The creator, who believes that the best privilege artists get is to ''lie,'' creates a whole new world beyond your imagination. Still, even though these tales are from different worlds, the topic has a great sense of reality, and the readers are guaranteed to be able to closely relate to them. Start a journey to the world only she can create.
