Five short stories by the novelist and short story writer Polly Samson.

A Rose for Paul: A story giving hope to anyone who has to move on from a difficult relationship.

The Morning After: A romantic tryst turns sour after an animal rights activist discovers the murderous taste of his lover in the form of her exotic Shatoosh shawl.

The Itch: Playing on the idea of 'The Seven Year Itch', this is an unusual story about regeneration and recovery, set to the tale of a couple who collect crabs.

Low Tide: Under the guise of an innocent story about rock pooling, this tale takes a morbid twist as the truth behind the absence of Hal's father is revealed.

Love at First Sight: A mother almost dies of love- her womb is quite literally, in the shape of a heart. This is a touching story of unconditional love.
