The Bin and the Bomb: A Humorous Travel Story about an Apartment in Paris

Excerpted from a story included in the new collection, Porcelain Travels.
Matthew's minuscule seventh-floor apartment has a top-to-bottom view of the Eiffel Tower. But it's what the little studio lacks that sets it apart. Bathing. Using the toilet. Avoiding hypothermia. Matthew quickly finds that daily living poses highly unusual challenges—not the least of which being the constant threat of an explosion. A living situation that tested Matthew's resolve and made him question his sanity, it's also one he'll never forget.
