It's not going to kill you -- The good neighbor -- Dog people -- I don't live in this town -- Front and center -- A possible story -- The summer of cancer -- Feather the nest -- The winning ticket -- A democrat in Nebraska -- The only thing that can take you -- All I want is you.
"It's not going to kill you," a mother tells her protesting child. And maybe it won't, but that doesn't mean anyone is getting off scot-free. A no-man's-land between exoneration and repercussion, this is the place where the people in Erin Flanagan's stories live: in events as big as 9/11 and as small as an infatuation with a dog groomer, as meaningful as the birth of a baby and as senseless as a car crash, as unique as a 1980s air band living out dreams for a city in decline and as common as an afterschool job that sucks. These stories accept that we all make mistakes, but it's what we.
