<p>
16 short stories about people who are their own worst enemies. The tales are tragic, funny, and even shocking. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll forget to change the laundry.
<p>
Carlo lost his job at the video store and goes to the bar pretending to be a talent scout. Austin thinks he's a robot. Dylan tries to balance his emotionally abusive girlfriend, his swollen testicle and his x-ray vision. Philip hopes to lose weight and wears his heart rate monitor 24/7. Melissa would love a slice of cheesecake, if only she weren't an agoraphobe. Stewart's dream girl becomes his worst nightmare.
<p>
The characters are slightly out of step with a world that has abandoned them. In short, they are real people living in the real world, and they sit beside you on the downtown bus.
