Beyond The Rainbow's End: Short Stories by James Pitter is a collection of five short stories, just 57 pages in all, covering a variety of situations and introducing diverse characters. In A Digital Immortality, we meet Jed and Rami encountering a philosophical debate over whether or not information can or should be extracted from one person's brain and implanted into another human being. The Morris Winthrop Reports: Fashion Week introduces us to a cynical veteran writer who despises his work covering celebrity scandal. The Brunch Brats is the tale of two inebriated ex-pat couples brunching at a local hotel and arguing over infidelity. In Opposite Directions, two bus passengers discuss logistics during their commute. The Secrets We Hide has a double-twisted plot involving an overprotective mother and her relationships with her daughter and her husband.
Beyond The Rainbow's End: Short Stories by James Pitter runs the gamut or full spectrum of unique scenarios and contains quite a few twists, turns, and secrets. Pitter includes both mundane and far-fetched scenarios in his writing of these five stories. I had trouble following The Secrets We Hide as it jumped back and forth quite a bit, but the ending is worth the wait. I enjoyed A Digital Immortality, which contained a lot of technical information about a possible future. Beyond the Rainbow's End is a little bit of this and a little bit of that put together in one enjoyable collection or anthology of short stories.
