Dark short stories about a grandmother who might also be a killer, police officers who probably shouldn't be a crossing guard, teenagers hungering after the same old thing, old men remembering their promise and young men who can't remember a thing. There is even one story about a woman who is too young to be as old as she is. The stories never make complete sense and they seldom leave a good feeling behind them, but it could happen with one or two, A couple of the things discussed in this book may have happened, or something similar could have happened, but there's no records, or the statute of limitations has expired, something like that. They are pretty much fictional, that's the only guarantee that comes with this package.
