OBSESSIONS: Desires and emotions that can't be reasoned with. With these fourteen stories and one poem, prepare to enter a world of darkness, a world where desires and needs are twisted into something so monstrous not even death can end them.
* In a time of war, a badly wounded soldier tries to heal for the sake of the children.
* A fifteen hundred pound man with an appetite that know no bounds.
* In a rigged contest for a camper, a crooked promoter learns what real determination is.
* A demented woman believes she's pregnant by Satan. Alone in a crumbling tenement, she's about to deliver a child.
* A server at a pizza restaurant takes his desire for neatness to the ultimate level.
* What would you give to have your dead child back? One father is about to find out.
* If you had a chance to be God, would you take it? What if you had no choice?
