Devil Take the Blue-Tail Fly

Philip Banter is a little too fond of drink, and his marriage is not what it should be. That doesn’t mean he’s losing his mind.

Then Philip finds in his office fifteen pages of a manuscript entitled “Confession.” He reads about a surprise dinner party his wife held, of the conversation that took place and—to his horror—of his own infidelity. But the “confession” turns out to be a prophecy: accurate in almost every detail.
