"Birds Without Feathers" is a story about a boy, Jake, who likes to pretend to be a scarecrow, much to the chagrin of his father and brother. Throughout the story, Jake wants to stay true to himself, but also make others happy.

In "Irreplicable", a young girl, Laney, finds a mylar balloon that doesn't seem to deflate. She takes it with her everywhere. Her father is worried about her attachment to the fragile item and attempts to replace it with something more permanent, a family cat.

"Don't Feed the Ghosts" follows a local cop, Officer Carter, as he responds to a call at the local cemetery. There, he finds a strange man with a wide array of food. When the man tells Officer Carter that he is "feeding the ghosts", the police officer must decide if he is crazy or telling the truth.
