I found the [Little Black Box](http://www.apogeekits.com/images/din_rail_project_box_vpb108.jpg) while checking the inflation on the left front tire. Somebody had slapped up it inside the wheel well, and a heavy-duty rare earth magnet kept the box in place. Leaving it undisturbed, I aired up the tire—with at least ...

She was taking too long. I hadn't moved an inch since she left. Not to turn on the lights when the sun went down. Not to take the piss that so wanted out.

9 years old: His uncle meant well. But the last thing a child wants to do after losing his parents in a violent mugging gone wrong is go to a circus.

Eric stepped off the suffocating bus and rubbed his eyes. He hadn’t slept much the night before.

[IP] Woman on a suitcase.
"Yours?" I heard it in the distance, through the roar of music used to prevent random conversations like this.
