Have you ever found yourself in an untenable situation, one that threatens to upend the life you've carefully constructed and put you in harm's way? The pieces in this proposed group of readers run from memoir to fiction, but all put their central "characters" in jeopardy to varying degrees. There's a video game maker with a conflicted conscious and a faltering moral compass. A woman being watched by some force the scrapes both her window and her nerves. A sheltered girl contemplating betraying her culture to move into a new world. A documentary filmmaker facing her mortality on a shoot. And a mother trying desperately to reconcile the daughter she thought she knew with the fugitive the authorities would paint that young woman as. Step into our parlor and play some Dangerous Games with us.
