Infinity’s Burn: A Flash Fiction Story

Intense psychological strain in a short story. The narrative, which echoes themes of madness and existential dread, examines the mental agony of a patient caught in an endless circle of suffering. The "living hell" that Scribner describes, in which a person is made to repeat their own death, is terrible and thought-provoking. The narrative blurs the distinction between sanity and insanity, making readers wonder about the nature of reality and mental disease. Despite being brief, this compelling story evokes profound thought on the human psyche and suffering.

Nice book, if you're into horror/Scifi, although brusque there's definitely a lesson to learn. We should help those with mental illness.

Was not really sure what to make of this one... a man in a psych hospital tells his Doctor he is reliving death over and over. Not in a Buddhist kind of way until you achieve enlightenment but in a body snatchers kind of way where he didn't want to continue.

This is the second flash fiction book I have read from this author and they have both been thought-provoking. It's a special talent to be able to elicit an entire story in the mind of a reader with just a chapter's worth of text. I plan to read more from this author.

Joshua Scribner is very good at making you think about a story for longer than it took you to read it. Twining physics theory and supernatural continuity, this story describes an uncomfortably hellish afterlife with the compounding consequence of global hubris. Will any souls escape? Is it any surprise that the warnings fall on deaf ears? I am reminded of a quote from the story of Lazarus and the rich man. "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, then they will not believe, even if a man were raised from death."
