Beyond is an anthology of short prose about the future and all of its disorientating and perturbing possibilities. We present work that ranges from the parallax of the present - into imagined realities which call back with responses and warnings to the ineluctable churn of our modern world. Frequently dark, often humorous, these writings bear the responsibility of interrogating our conception of normalcy, and pursuing its significance in a future which may be closer to hand than previously acknowledged.

Set in Glasgow 2015. A man suddenly finds himself alone, but not for too long. Soon his attention is consumed by another woman - sublime, inspired, unknowable - and different, he feels, from those who came before her. His friend, arrogant and unencumbered, taunts him as they drift aimlessly from one hangover to the next amidst a landscape of uniform grey, pulsating lights and insipid rain. Between querulous despondency and abject nihilism - an attempt to capture the disquiet of the decade just past, striking at the heart of a contagious male despair.
