  • 'Where I'm Likely to Find It': A woman's husband goes missing so she hires detective. As the detective traces the man's whereabouts, he reflects on the meaning of his own life.
  • 'Birthday Girl': A woman tells her friend the story of a surreal encounter she has on her twentieth birthday with the owner of the restaurant where she works, who grants her a wish.
  • 'The Seventh Man': The story of a man scarred by the death of his childhood friend in a tsunami.
