Table 52 Extended...A Third Collection of Short Stories
Draft description: to be checked and signed off by Table 52.
An expansive literary journey across the full spectrum of human experience, from biting humour and eccentric heroism to profound introspection and surreal meditations on life and death.
In “Bob Save The King!” an unlikely hero’s spontaneous act of bravery during a royal procession turns an ordinary day into an unforgettable spectacle, as his determination to protect the monarchy’s dignity collides with the absurdities of modern security.
“A Non-Traditional Requiem for My Death” is narrated by a spectral observer at his own funeral, looking back on a life shaped by corporate ambition and unfulfilled dreams. “Summer School 1968” follows a teacher in Poland during a politically charged summer, where classroom life meets student demonstrations and quiet everyday resistance.
From the offbeat and quirky to the existential and fantastical, these stories find the extraordinary hiding in the mundane, and invite you to pause, reflect and perhaps see the world a little differently.
