The Scent of Strangeness

Finalist 2018 Quantum Shorts Flash Fiction

Inspired by the weird and wonderful world of quantum physics, the shorts range from bold imaginings of a quantum future to contemplations rooted in the everyday. They feature characters of all sorts: lovers beginning their lives together, an atom having an existential crisis, and, of course, cats.

The Scent of Strangeness: In this corridor, the numbers float, dance, and bounce. Sometimes they have a scent, and occasionally a taste. There's a whiff of something new at the labs today...
