Publisher's Synopsis
Fiction. Chapbook. In 2002, Stephen Clair wrote a story a day for one hundred consecutive days; fourteen of these stories are collected here. A grocer screams at his son for eating his store's Rolly Dots; children prepare to fight wars by perfecting their long jumps; a chicken farmer's children can't stop killing chicks with their affection; and Mr. Demonstrata, businessman, wonders how he has wound up where he is. At turns droll and mysterious, slapstick and melancholy, each of these brief pieces reverberates long after it ends.
