What if? This is how Jaleta Clegg looks at the world, and her mind is constantly churning through ideas. The most persistent get written down. Waiting for Elephants contains 34 of these ideas-five of them in the form of poetry-and 21 of those appear here for the first time!
You’ll find twisted and reimagined fairy tales, stories of derring-do and adventure in the far reaches of the galaxy, strange game shows, ramen delivery (no, really!), spacefaring housekeepers who strive for more, interstellar transplanted Irish ghosts, angelic voices on frontier desert planets, and more.
Don’t take anything at face value in these stories, though. What you least suspect or never expected is the norm here. Start your journey into the unknown with this imaginative collection!
