Until It Stops by M.P. Newman

“He embodied and represented a true deity, stood up to and for all those unanswered questions, wishes, hopes, and ill-directed prayers. To the unbelieving, he was strange, but to the rest, those who needed a god, he was peculiar enough to be so much more than just a random occurrence. He had all the attributes required to be venerated, holy, and godly.” The short story collection, Until It Stops, by M.P. Newman, takes readers through twelve eclectic tales, delving into the lives and shifting motives of flawed characters as they face moral dilemmas and confront situations where altruistic intentions often fail to lead to meaningful outcomes. Stories, such as “Until It Stops” and “Aenna,” intermingle elements of science fiction with the collection’s underlying theme of consequence that imparts a lingering impression.
