A booby trap is a device or setup that is intended to kill, harm, or surprise a human or other animal, triggered by the presence or actions of the victim. Here they are stories; small, sturdy and surprising in their levels of camouflage and damage.

-A grieving man grapples with a double whammy of loss by fishing and finds that sometimes you catch more than you expect, if you use the right bait.

-The world splinters in many different ways and scenes in a kaleidescopic series of prose snapshots

-The young product of a lifetime of abuse grows to find her true course and embrace the smoke trail it leaves.

-A small coastal village finds an unusual thing washed upon their shore.

-An abandoned amusement park has strange truths to share with a trio of teenagers.

-A woman mentally spars with the strange creature that seems to haunt her property.

-Loneliness leads to wanting which has a voracious appetite, so discovers an introverted fellow in a far from typical morning at the office.

The stories are short and scattered in theme and setting but mind where you step, for they have sharp edges and hair trigger and a few of them bite hard.
