Thirty stories of surprises that wait around the next bend; that lurk in dark corners of the room and your mind. Tales to make you swallow hard; to feel the tears welling up, or laugh, and think "So true" - Comeuppance strikes again. Or "That jammy devil got away with it." In tricky times like these, the only certainty is the unexpected.
You’re sitting in the sun with your two dogs, when this thief on the run drops into the chair beside you, grabs your drink and sticks a gun in your ribs.
You need to be free from ties and home. Nothing will chain you down. Will it?
The peace of your peaceful community is destroyed by the murderous Carrion Queen with her Demon Horde. Is there nothing you can do?
You knew with total certainty that your dedication to fishing would pay off in records, cash and fame.
It’s proving to be a long, miserable night, keeping tabs on your riotous brother on his stag night; will nothing relieve your torment?
You made top executive in a sporting empire, but, is there some hidden hankering for roads not taken?
Doesn’t your vile, ranting, bullying female boss have any redeeming features?
You take your beautiful cat to the vet, and this is what happens?
Driving so carefully along the icy road, you’re overtaken by a minibus going backwards?!
