With a Side of Universal Destruction - E-book - ePub

Bad luck happens to Will Strooter when he's away from his goldfish. And today he wakes to find his pet belly up. Now minus his aquatic talisman, he predicts a whirlwind of trouble at the office. Just as expected, a dark cloud of misfortune surrounds him when he finds himself at the center of a confounding glitch and bizarre happenstance that could cause him to lose his job. His parade of bad luck continues when he barely evades a hit squad in a grocery store parking lot and is rescued in the nick of time.
