Goddesses, Sleep with the Snowmen, and Other Fantasies

A collection of ten short speculative fictions by William Mangieri, in which we learn some life lessons:
What constitutes a true waste of time
Sentience is in the eye of the beholder
Things aren’t always where they should be
Perception is reality
What to expect if you were to talk to God
Don’t be too eager to perform labors proffered by goddesses
No crime is victimless
A love that lasts forever may not be a good thing
Be good, or the jingle bells may toll for thee
The voices in your head can be real
