A diverse range of short stories dealing with love and loss; hope and disappointment; the strange and the unexpected. This collection of 24 stories includes: A couple facing the slow transformation of humanity into something radically different and beyond reach. Do they stay with the blue boy and wait their turn or do they leave while they still can? A group of ecstatic, detached heads resurrected far in the future realising, in horror, that The Future has its own plans for the relics from the past.
On a cold, dark, winter's evening, a train arrives at the end of the line. One man alights. His only thought is to get home fast but the deserted streets have other ideas. Ever gone on a first date? Well, fifteen year old Jamie is about to if only he can dodge the advice-giving relatives and get out of the house in time. An entrepreneurial crab has a great idea to make a juicy profit and learns business would be less stressful without the customers.
