Crouton: A Love Story & Other Tales

Lonely Ted finds a crouton in his spotless apartment and freaks out. But the errant bread item is really a catalyst for a strange sort of love story.
This is one of nine short stories by T. Alex Miller in this eclectic collection. There's the semi driver who has to pull over if he hears 'Free Bird' on the radio; the son who inherits an enormous pistol he doesn't want only to find he's a crack shot; a guy whose brain appears to be floating out of his head; a young boy who finds acceptance through a tuba; and the theater reviewer who can't stay awake during performances — and more.
