Quantum Leaper and Other Short Stories

"In Quantum Leaper and Other Short Stories, Nelson Bryksa uses short stories to explore a variety of personal issues. He delves into feelings brought about by the unanticipated circumstance of discontinuing life-support for a loved one, and provides insight into inner sensations most people cannot even fantasize when they watch an athlete experience an extreme reality. He shares the experience of someone who willingly places himself in confrontational situations with hooligans, and lets us ponder our lack of concern for collateral consequences of human development. He makes us feel the guilt of imprudence when it results in a child suffering a preventable disease, and he lets us decide the balance between providing a memorable entertainment experience and imposing overly fastidious safety measures. His stories offer unique perspectives and introspections of people caught up in circumstances into which they are thrust and over which they have no control."
