This is a new venture for me. Recording stories live to video.
This collection is Quantum Shorts 2. Flash fiction that won a contest. The stories all have something to do with quantum physics, but in all cases it’s the story that is important, more than the science. The stories are released under a Creative Commons license, as are these videos. Please pass them on.
This reading is Entanglement by Kathryn Aldridge-Morris, a writer from Bristol, UK, whose work has won several prizes including The Forge Literary Magazine’s award for Creative Nonfiction, and the Manchester Writing School’s “QuietManDave” prize.
The quantum concepts are entanglement, superposition and wave-particle duality.
A mother, who knows nothing about quantum physics, talks to her daughter, who is leaving home to study it in university.

Beginning this week I will be doing something a little different with the YouTube videos. The previous ones were all already recorded and were simply uploaded with a video introduction. This week I will bravely go where I have never gone before and will record the stories live on video for upload. You will have the opportunity to watch me stumble and bumble my way through the stories. I don’t see how anyone could resist.-)
The book I have for this experiment is Quantum Shorts Volume 2. Quantum Shorts Volume 1 is already up on the Okanagan Reader channel and has been getting a lot of interest. The stories in these volumes are called flash fiction and would have been called short-shorts in days gone by. As a rule, they have no more than 1,000 words and take in the seven minute range to narrate. Each one has one or more quantum concepts in it, sometimes central and sometimes simply there since that’s the rule. Each story is a winner and good in its own right.
Barring delays, I will be uploading the first story on Wednesday. See you there.
