Plato's Cave — Brian Craddock

Another tale in the Refuge Collection, Plato's Cave can be read standalone but may be best enjoyed after The Thief's Tale. When the Mayor's bodyguard, Marty Hayseed calls into Refuge's notorious Blue Frog Tavern, our narrator knows that trouble looms and attempts to flee unseen. There's no deceiving Marty, though, and an abduction and drive into the countryside is going to lead to disaster. Plato's Cave explores the themes of identity, change, perception and relationships gone sour.
