Recovering from a life-altering tragedy, Greg - bright, talented, and formerly-ambitious - has grown to accept life’s little curveballs - and even thrive on them - much to the chagrin of his friend (and one-time lover), the now-unhappily-married Yates. After all, what does it profit him to take the world seriously, when the world repaid the courtesy so cruelly? No. Better to glide through his existence now: job, sleepless nights, whatever.

But now a mysterious, half-mad, figure crosses Greg’s path. The pair become inextricably bound, sending Greg on a nocturnal comic quest to recover something that the madman has taken from him, something that truly does still matter, something worth risking everything for - even if it means Greg must expose himself to the greatest threats of all: the phantoms of the past, and the demons of the present.

Michael Canfield writes about monsters, superheroes, couples, bank robbers, babies, astronauts, paranoids, background artists, hobbyists, and other people. He has published mystery, fantasy, science fiction, horror, or just-plain-odd stories on StrangeHorizons, futurismic, EscapePod, M–Brane SF, magazines including Realms of Fantasy, Talebones, Black Gate, Flytrap and other places. His novelette “Super-Villains” was republished in the prestigious Fantasy: The Year’s Best series, edited by Rich Horton. Born in Las Vegas, he now lives, works, plays, writes, and watches television in Seattle.
