These stories show how your fate is twisted by choices you make. In one tale, a woman realises how carefully she ignored signs of her lover's deceit, and the pages of another woman's diary show how much abuse she accepted before taking a final, violent revenge. One woman delights in the character quirk that made her a dedicated thief while another, the victim of childhood abuse, struggles to reclaim her sexual self. An adult son contemplates the boyhood bargain he made with a crab, to save his mother's life, and a forty-year-old learns that freedom to choose means making a difficult decision.

And after the upheaval of 2016, she wonders how the character of one man will affect the fate of the world.
