A closeted teen on a trip to Chile hides in his parents' bedroom to avoid being caught fooling around with a local boy. An elderly couple attempts to scale a volcano, wrestling with their own physical limitations and an unbearable loss in their past. A father becomes convinced that a daycare has swapped his toddler with a near-identical imposter. The public relations industry of Las Vegas is at first amused and then scandalized by a businesswoman's ability to divine people's birthplaces and childhood experiences just by listening to them speak. And a son's long-deceased parents return to life as fumbling, inept zombies who are more nuisance than threat. In these and other stories, Bruce Johnson's bold, thought-provoking debut explores how we are shaped by the narratives that we craft for ourselves and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBruce Johnson's stories have appeared in \u003ci\u003eBest Microfiction 2023\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWigleaf\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePrime Number Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Cincinnati Review's\u003c\/i\u003e miCRo series, and \u003ci\u003eThe Adroit Journal\u003c\/i\u003e.
