Fathers await their baby’s birth after two heartbeats become one; a child terrified by TV monsters grows up to see the seams; a teenager hides his father in a locked room; a college student convinces herself she’s been saved by a magical creature; a woman disappears, and the river turns red; a grandmother refuses to leave this world; a pair of strangers roam door to door, asking for very little and taking much more. Cover art by Milka LoLo.
