Catalysts

A strange growth that will change a man.... People with open umbrellas when no rain is in sight.... An old suitcase with a haunting past and the man who decides to change its future.... A vengeful victim of a house fire.... A mattress that can bring a man hope in his dreams.... A mother so bent that she does the unthinkable to keep "her baby" from growing up.... These are only the catalysts.
