Tales of Urban Encounters

Gerry Marsh

Short stories foraged from the heart of the city. Set in cafes, streets, supermarkets and pubs; these tales drag the debris of messy lives out from their familiar urban locations. Why is Irene clinging to a drainpipe outside the hospital? Will David be trapped forever stirring the stick in his latte? And is your local boozer worse than Raoul’s Saturday night watering hole?When your existence threatens to implode with the struggle of urban domesticity; the pointlessness of switching, swopping and up-grading – taste some feral freedom.
