Summary

This collection explores the lives of individuals pushed to the brink of what they think is possible, blending literary and magical realist styles. A man wins the lottery but becomes obsessed with the notion that hitting improbable odds could also work against him. An orphan found in a field screams for a month until the sky bursts into flames. Two strangers find themselves surrounded by disasters every time they meet. These characters find love, navigate grief, and fight against their impulses to avoid repeating past mistakes. In Chance to Fade, a man struggles to distinguish hallucinations from his surroundings, while his young neighbor tries to convince her parents that reality might not be as rigid as they believe. Drawings come to life, snow falls in the middle of summer, and the dead refuse to stay dead.
