Description

In 'Bactine', a toothless layabout takes a break from nursing his crippled uncle and spends the evening abusing solvents with an acquaintance.

The fumes only serve to exacerbate his dismay, though, and a trip to an all-night coffee shop causes some unpleasant recollections to surface. In 'Giganthomachy', Teddy and William are two nine year-old boys who like to argue over whether they'll play nuclear war or Vietnam games in the yard.

William's more fantastic suggestions rile Teddy, who suffers enough deranged fantasy when he retreats inside every evening. In 'Pills', Bobby and Frankie take a notion to leave Knockemstiff for California and a new life amongst the film stars.

But the four stolen bottles of pharmaceutical grade speed they'd intended to fund the trip with prove mighty alluring, and the road out of the township grows ever more elusive. Part of the Storycuts series, these three short stories were previously published in the collection Knockemstiff.
