A series of short stories and essays with a wide range sure to please any reader. An excerpt from one story: "We find ourselves inching closer and closer to the side of the road and then - BAM! - I look over at her and see that the side mirror is gone. It has been taken out by a giant orange construction barrel. We failed to see it through the dark and all of the downpouring rain. We reach a red light where she stops on the deserted road. The driver's door whips open. We see our friend, who is a passenger in the car behind us, heading to the same destination as we are. "Get out," he tells her."
