They are based in "fact-tion", and range in topic from love to politics to ego's run amuck. Section two is The Couch. These fictional short stories are based on characters ripped from the news of the day. They look at the people and situations behind the thirty second highlight footage. The final component is a theatrical piece entitled Black Coffee. The story follows the owner of a poetry café' and it's patrons as they struggle with human relationships and ghostly ones as well.
