For the special one-time fire-sale price of seventeen bucks, they can get a pack of seven completely original, brand-new, ultra-premium, never-before-used ideas. But will it get them out of trouble before they're forced to talk to each other again?
Find out in this hilarious all-night adventure yarn that'll leave you wondering: can pigeons really be trusted?

J. Daniel Sawyer writes a lot of bizarre, genre-bending stuff, but this one takes the goose-stepping, pigeon-flogging cake. Inspired by an exasperated quote from Harlan Ellison (in response to the oft-repeated question all authors hate, "Where do you get your ideas?"), this story is reminiscent of Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett at their zany best -- with a liberal helping of Neil Gaiman-style darkness stirred into the pot. Sawyer gets bonus points for the eerily true-to-life representation of a pair of Northern California college bros, with all the emotional repression and immaturity that entails. A fun little read, and one of the more mind-warping things I've read this year.
