These two short stories share the common theme of mortality in two very different ways, while one will make you cringe over the evil in humanity, the other will remind you how beautiful love can be.In The Hitcher, we are transported to the Irish countryside where a person turns hitchhiking into a game, with rules and deadly consequences for some. Little by little you'll discover more and more about the hitchhiker and each new piece of information will be a revelation you did not expect.In Orange Sky, the world as we know it will come to an end. This turns people into three categories: the ones who try to survive no matter what, the ones that want to create havoc and the ones that accept the fate and want to die in peace with their loved ones. This is the story of a couple as they stroll down their neighborhood on the last day of their lives. While there are no plot twists or revelations, it is a beautiful story about a couple's life journey and bitter-sweet ending.
