Abstract
This is a collection of short fiction, the bulk of which was written during the author's two years at Iowa State University. Many of the stories contain magical elements, which has resulted in many people calling them "Postmodern." The collection begins with a nonfiction essay that catalogues the author's transition from the working world into the academic world.
