There are moments when we all find ourselves outside our comfort zones, in unexplored territory. The stories comprising this collection explore these moments from wildly diverse angles: a cafe in Thailand that seems oddly familiar; a miner in Central America awaiting a brother he's never met; a hitchhiker in Norway haunted by a myth; a man in Cincinnati attempting to murder himself. Full of unexpected twists, and universally recognizable moments these are tales about the capacity to surprise ourselves, and what we do about it afterwards."
