A Story by Bria Burton
On a visit to Stonehenge, a handsome stranger offers Alice an escape from the man who has been following her by way of a magical portal in one of the monoliths.
A short story from The Masters Reimagined. Inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/Through the Looking-Glass and The Count of Monte Cristo.
Q - What is The Masters Reimagined?
A - In The Masters Reimagined, ten authors unite to bring something new to the classic stories of literature we all know so well. Masters like James Joyce, Rudyard Kipling, Lewis Carroll, Herman Melville, Leo Tolstoy, and Shakespeare inspired the authors of the Alvarium Experiment in their quest to reinterpret, reinvent, and reshape the stories and characters through speculative twists and turns. This is the third project by the Alvarium Experiment, a consortium of accomplished and award-winning authors.
Q - Where should a reader start when selecting a short story to read in The Masters Reimagined?
A - Each story is self-contained and can be read in any order. The reader is free to select any of the stories at random to begin their experience. The book description will explain the premise for each particular story.
BRIA BURTON lives in sunny St. Petersburg with her wonderful husband and two wild pets. Her short fiction has appeared in over twenty anthologies and magazines, including The Prometheus Saga , the debut project of the Alvarium Experiment. Two of her unpublished manuscripts have won First Place Royal Palm Literary Awards. Her novella, Little Angel Helper, won a 2016 RPLA. The Running Girls, a novelette, is 2017 RPLA semi-finalist. She also has a collection of family-friendly pet stories called Lance & Ringo Tails. At St. Pete Running Company, she's a blogger and customer service manager.
