as it's a collection of 28 short stories, there were 28 ideas behind them. I produce those in the back of the book, but here's a couple to give you an idea:
“Happy Sour� - reading in the bath a book of stories by Brian Evenson and he used the simple phrase “Happy Hour� in a story and my brain went into association overdrive. What if happy hours weren’t actually happy? I had about seven sentences formed in my head by the time I climbed out of the bath and they were the skeleton of the story. Whole thing was completed in an hour.
“Unsighted� - waiting to meet someone in central London who never showed up. I think I hung around uselessly for 90 minutes. Revenge is writing a story about it, though this went through so many drafts, the story ended up being at the expense of the person waiting, not the one who failed to show.
