Find solace in the fact that beer has magical qualities and father approves. Learn that flies are nature's way of keeping things tidy, but have darker intentions as well. Follow a young boy's journey into zombiehood. And of course, be grateful that trees don't walk, and if they did, find comfort knowingthey can be consumed by flames. These and other stories are waiting to be harnessed. Be brave and willfully share the dilemma.
