    About this ebook

    Chris Cherry's prose is surprising, poetic sometimes, that almost-rhyme that you wish you'd thought of first. Humor glints softly from the corner of your eye while wit smacks you upside the head. Her stories will draw you in, hold you gently, that is until you try to exit and find the hooks deeply embedded. This is an author to watch.

      The party was a failure. I can’t even tell you what a failure it was. There are no words. Only a great pain in my chest when I wake up. On the veranda. It’s better when I sit in the chair. Oh, but then I can see around. The gauzy curtains, pushed by
