Seismic shifts in their lives force them to make sense of the aftermath. An American punk pilferer new to Berlin takes in a strange sex show that randomly reunites him with his long-lost sister. A disgusting man with a mind for money makes his millions in semen-stained clothing and basketball, and accidentally inspires a new religion. The courthouse is on fire, the elevator's going to crash, and a nail-tough old-timer has a few minutes of life left trapped inside the box with his grandson's fucked-up wife. These stories and more by Pushcart Prize nominated author, Henry Presente.
