This Kindlebook contains five short stories of various lengths, none will take you longer than five minutes to read.  I really liked the first two, the third and fourth were pretty good, the final one not as good as the previous but by then the former stories have made the download decision worthwhile. The first two are comedies, the next two are mild horror themed, the last just a regular short story.The Santa Call - The Love Doctor, a popular Californian radio talk show gets a call from a guy called Kris who wants help because his wife has walked out on him.  The DJ isn't too interested in this call but as he takes each new line it's still Kris on the other end.  There's something familiar about Kris.Mad Dog - A washed up recently fired football commentator reluctantly takes a gig as the colour commentator in a racquetball tournament. He doesn't hold back his contempt for this so called sport or see any need to act professionally on the air at all.Behind the Shower Curtain - A girl recounts how a prank on her younger brother went very wrong.Nature's Assassins - Mother Nature gets her revenge on a polluter.The Gift of the Magi - The longest story in the collection and the second Christmas themed one.  Amongst other things covers the origin of gift giving.
