Rip in cover. Old sticker. Yellowed pages. "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." This anthology of short stories is like that box of chocolates. Set in a variety of locations and written over a number of decades, some of the stories are based on fact, others were sparked by an overheard word or phrase. There is a little bit of just about everything, just like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates. Each story is entertaining in its own way. Tane grapples with the hand luck has played in his life, while an old man laments the passing of a one-time acquaintance. Phoebe struggles to thwart Lyle's advances, and Lightfingers Lolita is in for a surprise. These are just some of the characters you will encounter in this potpourri of short stories.
