An unhappy wife fantasizes about poisoning her unfaithful husband. A couple of goofballs rob a dealer's house and get more than they bargained for. An ex-con spends years rebuilding his life and is presented with an unexpected temptation. A college student finds it difficult to concentrate on his studies with blood on his hands. A man in need of some quick, cold cash seeks relief and finds the ultimate cure for his problem.Grab a blanket because reading these stories is likely to give you chills. You'll climb into the car with a pair of sorry souls on New Year's eve, then watch from a corner of the room as two sad souls and an innocent third are tortured one by one. Watch your step, dear reader, and try to avoid the potholes that derailed the lives of those who populate these pages.
