A short story, excerpted from the author's (unpublished) creative writing Masters thesis from Goddard College.This story will also be included in the second edition of the short story collection "What's With Her?" and is presented here as a standalone piece for those who bought the first print edition or Kindle edition, which contained a different story in its place.

From deep within the human body to distant nebulae in outer space, there are worlds all around us that are smaller, faster, and farther than the unaided eye can see. In these thirty-six amazing images, you can see the invisible: from a white blood cell attacking E. coli bacteria, to the delicate splash from a falling drop of water captured by a high-speed strobe. With pictures that astound and fascinating explanations of how each image was captured, award-winning author Seymour Simon takes readers on a fantastic voyage that's truly out of sight.
