Adam is a young preacher, with a loving wife and a child on the way. His family, his congregation, and his affinity for one particular science fiction movie are enough to keep him happy with his life. But when a new member of that congregation begins to haunt him at seemingly the worst possible moments, he begins to question the weight of his life's responsibilities. Can he handle being "the one" - the one so many look to in times of need? Detective Oswald Quinn is not so happy with life. His marriage has not turned out as happy as Adam's, but his responsibilities have become just as heavy. The latest of these burdens have led him to the investigation of a serial killer who seems to seek perfection in the number 3. Meanwhile, Scott seems completely unburdened by responsibility, save for his endless pursuit for a full glass at the bar. The drinks should be flowing freely on May 5, or "Cinco de Mayo". But on this date, Scott discovers a failure much more haunting than an unquenchable thirst. Arithmophobia is a collection of short stories that leads you on a journey to consider the sometimes haunting, sometimes humorous impact of numbers. Whether it be the value we assign to our lot in life, a date on a calendar, or the numerical magic that mother-nature can offer, Arithmophobia's nine stories examine the magic and mystery that begins at the intersection of life and a single digit.
