Abstract
This short story collection is a meditation on happenstance and circumstance as played out in each character's life often catalyzed through the introduction of an unknown element: whether that element be a new character, perspective, or knowledge. Stylistically, the voice of the narration is colorful and humorous though the subject matter may be of the melancholic or macabre variety. The point of view changes from first to third, depending on the story and main character; however, the unifying factors of this collection is that each character is changed because of a loss, whether metaphoric or literal.
