    About this ebook

    Often dark but sometimes filled with humour and irony, these short stories, reminiscent of O. Henry, look at life from unusual and often fanciful viewpoints.
    These stories are perfect for reading while waiting in line, or during your morning commute. Some of them will make you laugh; some might make you cringe, and a few might not be ideal bedtime reading.
