A Stranger in Paradise — Volume 9, Issue 3

David Halliday presents a darkly humorous tale of human pettiness and mortality in his story A Stranger in Paradise, where a drugstore blood pressure monitor becomes an unlikely battleground between two men wrestling with their own fragile mortality. The story’s wry tone cleverly masks deeper anxieties about aging, death,and the small ways we try to maintain control in an uncontrollable world.
