Ten short stories written across one year of creative writing classes, packaged together because they finally felt like something I could show people. The alliteration in the title was the first decision I made and the one I committed to hardest. The stories themselves range from genuinely serious to genuinely absurd, with most of them trying to be both. Each one comes with a short note about the assignment that produced it, because half the fun of student work is seeing the prompt that broke it loose.
