A woman walks into a public place and detonates a bomb. But what of words, the words we use to describe the act for those who weren't there, including the writer? The bombing falls to the background, the description to the foreground - and the act becomes a shadow stalking the words that describe it. It is this shadow, this stalking, that we offer you here in the rise of murderous suicide as a political weapon.

A chance meeting on an island beach leads to devastating circumstances. Who "owns" the beach, the man who currently lives there, or the woman who has returned to her native land for a visit? The man insists she leave because she is a stranger who has forfeited her right to stay. Her protests do nothing but elevate the conflict on the shores of the world.
