I read Urgent Questions 2 (UQ) before reading this and besides the stories all being flash fiction, I didn't see any other thematic similarities. That's a bummer because there was a theme in UQ 2 that I enjoyed (campy 50s style fiction). The writer does have a good imagination and it sparkles at times in stories like the opener, "Twenty Questions."

Five short stories:
Twenty Questions: Twenty questions to save a life.
Unrest: The cat burglar who has help.
It Came With the House: Pets definitely allowed in this neighborhood.
Barking: How extensive is brain damage?
Calling Out: Don't answer when someone calls for Daddy in the night.

Awesome l

loved it and would love to read his full length novels and mute of his short stories. Very quick but very interesting. To be able to put that much in to such a short space is amazing
