A narcoleptic barber draws an audience sleeping on the job. A teenage bear navigates the narrow confines of high school, defying gender and authority. A kid from Arthur Avenue flees to Coney Island. Mr. Paper & Mr. Scissors fall in love over a blue glue martini. At Trent University the lesbians are temporary.
Coming Over for Coffee is a delicious dark brew of flash fiction. Its eccentric characters come barreling off the page, to pour a cup and stay with you.
