*A parking lot guard deals out harsh justice for litterbugs, double-parkers, improper use of handicapped spots - and worst of all - to those who don't return their shopping carts. (This one was my favorite; it made me laugh and honestly, I can relate to that guard way too much.)

A great lineup of authors here; I liked the all the stories, which is not usually the case for me when it comes to short story collections. Some were better than others, of course, but fun all the same. The only thing I felt was a negative, was that a few of the stories were too short and at the end I was left wanting more. All in all, a solid collection.
