The Speed of Light: Science Fiction Short Stories of Being and Becoming

What if the greatest lessons in life came from someone who might not even be real?

In quiet towns, a series of children—each with their own unique passion, struggle, or fear—find themselves guided by a mysterious new teacher. He arrives without fanfare, wearing a brown suit and a knowing smile, asking simple yet profound questions that change the way they see the world.

  • David discovers that being different—like his giant pumpkin—can be a strength.
  • Jeremy, who feels left out in a world of online fame, learns that true importance isn’t measured in followers.
  • Ronnie, afraid of the dark, finds that real courage is helping someone else.
  • Sally, obsessed with perfection, realizes that life isn’t about forcing things, but letting them fit together naturally.

But there’s something strange about their teacher. He seems to know things no one else does. He appears just when he’s needed most. And sometimes, just for a second, he shimmers, like he isn’t entirely there at all…

Is he a traveller from another world? A guardian of the unseen? Or simply a man who understands more than most?

A beautifully woven collection of sci-fi-infused, thought-provoking stories—perfect for readers who love mystery, wisdom, and the quiet magic hidden in everyday life.
