TK Special #7 - Return to the M'Verse: An Ooorah Anthology

Each of the stories featured herein is set within a Universe of the writer's creation, while all being a part of a larger, shared Multiverse.At the Ooorah Mothership, we call this the M'Verse.Writers have free rein to tell the story they want to tell, providing it's sci-fi in nature and no more than 5000 words in length... then it's all good! There are, however, five "rules" to which all created Universes within the shared Multiverse must adhere. Think of them as non-mandatory prompts that weave an invisible, unbreakable web throughout this anthology. But that shouldn't prove too difficult for the writers partaking... It's time to RETURN TO THE M'VERSE.
