Synopsis: Nicholas Crane and the Hazard of Acquaintance

Nicholas Crane did not like people very much. This was a sadly common fact that he had learned throughout his progress in life, that no matter where he went, or what new countries spilled out before him waiting to be explored, he was forever doomed to find himself in company he found increasingly unbearable. That fateful Wednesday was no exception, but it would irreparably change his life in ways he couldn't even begin to imagine. It started with goldfish.
