Possibilities of a Quantum Soul by Holly Heisey
Fantasy lgbtq weird slipstream transgender nonbinary Strange Science Fiction Literary Fiction Horror quantum Mystery
“Dari remembers with absolute clarity their childhood awe of the apparition. That person who didn’t have to be a girl but wasn’t a boy. That person who seemed so perfect and exactly who they were.”
A human being with a quantum soul contains many possible lives and identities. If you unmake one of those lives, is it theft, murder, or none of the above? Dari struggles to find the woman responsible and reclaim their own identity.
