A Reader's Buffet

Like petits fours at a party, these seven short pieces of fiction aim to satisfy the reader’s taste for something small and tasty.
In Bithersby’s Bored Birthday, an enterprising private detective encounters something most unusual–and she’s all in black.
Piotr’s Great Find discovers mysteries of the universe in the kitchen sink, and in The Strawberry People of Miracle City
strangers come from nowhere to bring prosperity to a tiny farming town. Stalked is a creepy murder mystery in which the
newspaper-reporter narrator becomes an unwilling character (hint: the butler didn’t do it). Sort out At Play, and
you’ll find a veritable layer cake of interacting characters. The Piano Box lets you put a piano in a garage if you want,
and then there’s Conspirators. They’re more than willing to help their fellow high-rise tenants.
