A stuffed bear's heart beats with the rhythm of a dead baby, Reno keeps receding to the east no matter how far you drive, and in a mine on another planet, the dust won't stop seeping in.

In these stories of doubt, delusion, and paranoia, no belief, no claim to objectivity, is immune to the distortions of human perception.
