Pottlebury is not quite an ordinary town. Doors slide out of walls where no wall has ever made such an offer. A municipal goat takes personal offense at a barn door that forgets where it opens. A traffic light develops an oddly personal grudge against one reliable pedestrian. A retired foghorn turns up in ceilings, pipes, floors, and all the wrong records.
These are stories of oddities in a coastal town, bureaucratic hauntings, stubborn mysteries, and incidents best approached sideways. Across these linked tales, Pottlebury laughs uneasily in public, files something more honest in private, and keeps adding index cards to one drawer or another.
Step through carefully. In Pottlebury, even the side doors have opinions.
