Acclaimed novelist Michael E. Lloyd presents four very strange short stories and a complimentary poem:

• Big Night Out watches the mysterious and Machiavellian "N.G." working single-handedly to protect his adopted homeland from great and present danger.
• Drop to Drink is a brief Kafkaesque study in Denial.
• The Three Bears and the Intruder propels an old fairy tale writhing into the realities of the twenty-first century.
• For the Conference imagines just what might have motivated Charles Darwin to flee Oxford at his defining moment ...
• and Never Alone is a short Betjamenesque verse on the perils of modern technology!
