Luminous is a collection of short science fiction stories by Greg Egan.
Luminous contains the following short stories.
Have you seen the light behind you
History the light
A prophecy that might remind you
Guiding through the night
Oh mercy
Oh have mercy
Tranquillity exists for me
Between the wrong and right
Rules are made for those who need them
There's no need to bite
UFO's would come to us
But we must be a fright
And you talk your way
You walk away
You hawk your way to hell itself
If you showed a real emotion
I'd be on your side
Yet fortunes make you rise to anger
At your out-gone tide
Have you seen the lights behind you
Have you seen the lights
You hawk your way to hell itself
