Pleasant Nightmares, Bittersweet Dreams

A collection of short stories by Rachel Conlin-McLeod. A kid's magic show has an unexpected twist in "Disappearing Act".
A young gymnast in Special Olympics illustrates good sportsmanship in "Spirit". In "The Midnight Club", a few too many drinks served by a familiar face leads to an experience one man will never forget.

"Something Useful" is the subject of an interesting rivalry among friends that goes just a bit too far.
