First sentence: Today the Lemon and Trust Building, together will all four hundred and fifty-eight employees who made it to work on time, appeared in the vacant lot on Third and Salisbury, here in Shredsburg, Illinois.  For some reason, it made me think of Baby Billy.
Description: This collection of new and previously published short stories spans the width of Mark Rich's considerable range of voices and themes. From the deeply poetic to the wryly humorous to the just plain bizarre, the stories take the reader to the edges (and depths) of the human (and inhuman) experience.
