Twelve short, short stories that lead the reader down twists and turns until a surprise ending appears. These stories reveal modern society in glimpses of the lives of a surreal celestial event in south Florida, a fashion-obsessed teen, a lonely teacher, a bedroom full of history, a startling scene at a closed motel, a bored church-goer, a misunderstood son, a secretive daughter, an abandoned house, a widow's decision, a wealthy man's loss, and a campaign worker's revelation.
