β¦ Synopsis
Prepare to be amazed, frightened, and entertained. Imagine clock faces looking down at you from tall buildings while plotting to kill you. Imagine an alien creature living vicariously through your memories. Imagine being trapped inside a radio station where the general manager is the Devil himself. Picture a mystical doorway to heaven where you can see your departed loved ones, but only during visiting hours. Consider how the world would react if a cow exhibited human intelligence. And, what if you felt responsible for your father's death, and you were offered a magical do-over? Would you take that second chance, even if it might destroy you? You'll be certain to enjoy these stories and more.
