A young teacher who feels he's getting old. A time-traveling daughter's sacrifice. The first humans on earth, and their discovery of death and free will. Fractured stories and time traveling bard-watchers. A disappointed rock guitarist and picky demons. A.I. problems in a post-work paradise! Naughty narrators and Newfies. A textual mystery. Did God err in giving my life the wrong choices? Ken Eckert's Learning to Crawl is the followup to Shorter of Breath, and features ten stories ranging from light to dark humor, to reflections on the nature of free choice and God, spanning pre-historic man to a post-apocalyptic future.
