A demon has a heavy conscience. A helmet brings nothing but misery. A DJ performs for fifteen planets. A cashier can tell the future from the groceries in front of her. A Roman attempts to find happiness through philosophy. A santa on a boat has nefarious goals. DUSK WORDS: stories best kept out of the sun.
