From Scout Media comes A Journey of Words—the second volume in an ongoing short story anthology series featuring authors from all over the world.

In this installation, the authors will lead the reader to destinations unknown; from the heartbreak of driving to visit a loved one for the last time, to the far-reaches of outer space, to mysterious islands inhabited by long-forgotten spirits. You will learn how deadly a trip to a greenhouse can be, the perils involved in delivering the mail, and a hard lesson about how shiny new Volkswagon Beetles should not be trusted. These stories of traveling and journeys will touch your heart, send shivers down your spine, and make you root for the underdog.

Whether to be enlightened, entertained, or momentarily caught up in another world, these selections convey the true spirit of the short story.

    “How’d Mary start the bisect this time?” the man asked. “What did she do to trigger your journey tonight?”
    “How do you know—?”
    “Just answer the damn question!”
    “I stole a mandolin. From that moment on, everything’s been like something out of The Twilight Zone.”
    “Stole a mandolin? Wow, she is getting lazy,” the man said, chuckling. “I guess she stopped caring about originality. A few lives ago, she would’ve plotted some real doozies to activate the bisect. I’m a little disappointed in her creative integrity, to be honest.”
    “This is ridiculous. I’m taking the boat, and I’m leaving,” Big Riff said and turned toward the jagged rocks.

    “Tonight, my friend, keep ’em coming.”
