Sparkle Pirate: a Max and the Multiverse short

Max shifts between parallel universes whenever he falls asleep. A curious affliction, especially for a nerdy teen lost in an alien prairie.

Max awakes to the sights and sounds of a balmy meadow. It’s a welcome shift for once, so he decides to relax and enjoy it. However, the serene environment seems a bit too serene, and the reveal of his seductive new physique only complicates the affair.

"A roller coaster of a trip, fast-paced and filled with excitement." —Geoff Habiger, Readers' Favorite

"Holy smokes! Wheeler is the funniest living author I've read." —S. Shane Thomas, Science Fantasy Hub

Max and the Multiverse Shorts are stand-alone adventures that began as book chapters. Not every parallel universe will make it into the series, but some are funny enough to spawn their own stories. These are those stories, and I hope they make you laugh as hard as I did.
