Relationships.

These 17 stories explore the nature of who we are when we are with each other.

A motel rendezvous hurtling towards oblivion... a repentant husband longing to talk to his wife, if only he could find his tongue...a twentysomething sexting... a desperate man looking to score at a loneliness convention finds solace in an unexpected place... twins sharing everything, until they don't... and a British party girl waking up to discover she's lost a little more than her dignity.

The results are sometimes explosive, sometimes magical and always intense. And like any memorable relationship, these stories will leave a mark.

But don't let that hold you back; it's those marks that define us.
