    About this ebook

    Do you believe in ghosts? Do you believe that dreams can foretell the future? Do you believe that tragedies are re-enacted on the anniversary of their occurrence? If not, you should read these five short stories. Perhaps you will then change your mind!
    A man who is afraid of missing his train. A student who seeks proof of the supernatural. An assassin who is given a chance to escape. A retired vicar who is obessisve about his desire to avenge the victims of a long-past tragedy. A nighttime walk brings an unbeliever face to face with the supernatural.
    What do these five scenarios have in common?
    Sudden death.
