“The Four Fists”
This is the anatomy of a man named Samuel. Each fist is a time in his life where he was violently corrected in the process of overstepping his bounds. Each time he committed to introspection and corrected the behaviors that led to getting socked in the jaw. In the end, while he makes a poor “business” decision, he proves himself of such character that his firm’s trust in him eclipses it.

“Dalyrimple Goes Wrong”
A war veteran returns home and talks himself into living a life of crime while working a grueling dead-end job and railing at the nepotism he sees, robbing people in his hometown and finding a hollow elation after the thrill of the crime is over, rendering performative but remorseful gestures like returning mistakenly pilfered false teeth, one of the story’s best moments.
