Often, the unusual is perfectly usual on the outside. Be it the recluse neighbor upstairs, the nigh-forgotten tenants of the old folk's home up the road or the person sharing a college dorm room with you, the bizarre is often disguised as the usual, revealed only when circumstance is just so and one's guard is relaxed in the face of the perfectly mundane. In this collection of 9 short stories and the 6 chapter novella "Two Days, Six Bullets," you will find some of inhabitants of the back yard you never knew you had.
