A participant in an internalised music scheme chooses to ignore what he assumes is just a glitch... A story vending machine provides more than just a good read for an apprehensive job applicant... When God decides that the Ten Commandments are outdated, how will Saint Peter manage the re-write...? A silent child finds his own way to communicate...
