Call it a Christmas present, call it a "we-made-it-through-this crazy-fucking-year-of-2020" present, whatever you prefer, but this is a (long) short story from yours truly called "The Synchronicity Factory." It's a magical tale with nonsensical asides, trips into speculation about the nature of reality and how the concept of synchronicity may represent that we live in a world that is much more interconnected than our modern worldview recognizes. Like "The Teacher and the Tree Man," it seems to have two protagonists with interweaving stories but to make this one work, we must visit not only places as far-flung as Roswell, New Mexico, Washington, D.C. and Takasaki, Japan but we must leave this 3D world and enter the AfterWorlds where our protagonists, umm, what, reside? Well, come along and find out the answer to that, and many other questions, the most important of which is: can our heroes save the Synchronicity Factory?
