A collection of eleven short stories about ordinary people thrust into life-changing circumstances, where the fight-or-flight impulse kicks in, and the human heart is placed on life's anvil for another hammer blow. Among the citizens of these stories, you will encounter:
The best man who is secretly against his best buddy's marriage, and finds himself having to actually talk the panicking groom into going through with the ceremony at the near-to-last minute.
Larry Dun, whose name appears in an obituary, goes to a bar to contemplate life as a ghost, and decide what second chances are about.
A rock 'n' roll fan makes a pilgrimage to Bono's estate in Killiney, County Dublin, where he reflects on art, fandom and hero worship.
