    About this ebook

    In this collection you will meet a youth on the cusp of his manhood, and someone he meets along the way; find out what a rat and his person will do to protect their home against strangers; discover why it’s so hard to leave when you can’t find the door; visit citrus hell in search of a lost man; receive a note no one remembers writing or delivering. Ever have one of those days?
