An overworked CPA becomes exponentially smarter and more efficient after consuming homemade salsa from a local Mexican restaurant but with disastrous results. Something sinister may be going on in the background of a jovial housewarming party. The owner of a diner in the remote desert shows mercy in different ways to both his irascible long-time employee and to a mysterious new trainee. Terror reigns on a trip to the grocery store in post-apocalyptic South Dakota. A death row inmate contemplates the little things on his way to the execution chamber. A lonely elderly lady also faces death many decades after being forcibly taken from her family. A bereaved young woman continues to experience support and protection from her mother from beyond the grave.These stories, poems and dreams will take you on a journey along the spectrum of human existence. Kindness and mercy coexist with bullying, malice and even darker evil. Let us explore together the mystery of what it means to be human.
