Broken Dimensions

Broken DimensionsShort Fiction by Tony ViglianoWhat if these stories aren't imagined?What if they're happening-somewhere else, at the same time?Broken Dimensions is a collection of short fiction, flash, and micro-stories that treat reality not as a single, stable narrative, but as a structure under stress. In these pages, ordinary moments fracture: a commute becomes a catastrophe, a workplace decision becomes irreversible, a quiet domestic scene reveals something wrong beneath it.These stories are small in scale but vast in implication. They follow people caught inside systems-jobs, families, institutions, bodies, technologies-where the rules are already in place and opting out comes too late. Power appears briefly, locally, and often accidentally. Consequences linger long after the moment passes.Some stories unfold in kitchens, cars, offices, and hospital rooms. Others take place in distant worlds or altered futures. All of them share the same premise: that reality is plural, imperfect, and leaking-that each of these events could be real, somewhere in the universe.Written with restraint and precision, Broken Dimensions does not explain itself. It observes. It records. It leaves residue.For readers drawn to quiet dread, speculative realism, and fiction that treats the ordinary as evidence of something much larger, Broken Dimensions offers a map of worlds where the structure has already begun to fail.
