About this ebook

Diverse, dark-humored, and deliciously bite-sized, this compelling collection of 12 short stories by USA Today bestselling author JT Lawrence include:

ESCAPE

A suicidal baby knows he was born into the wrong life. He has to get creative to correct the mistake, much to his mother's horror.

THE ITCH

An intense, uncontrollable, unexplainable itch lands the protagonist in a mental institution.

BRIDGE GATE

THE UNSUSPECTING GOLD-DIGGER

A woman gradually poisons her husband so that she doesn't have to break his heart.
