About this listen

 A series of 29 short stories inspired by the vicissitudes of punishment in all its forms, its deliverers and recipients. Its universality across cultures and at every level of social life from the kitchen to the battlefield never ceases to amaze. The stories unveil the diverse motives and excuses for punishment that paradoxically form the foundation of that great shibboleth of humanity: justice. The stories range through childhood spats to military encounters, , family discourse and dysfunction, to the puzzle of how criminal justice manages to match a punishment to its respective crime (it can't). Taken together, the stories ask one seemingly silly question of human history: which came first, the crime or the punishment?
"Colin Heston's slice-of-life stories touch upon the theme of punishment, its impact, and how it varies from situation to situation, creating an invisible yet unquestionable bond between the person carrying out the act and the victim. Fault Lines is a diverse collection of fictional stories with humor, drama, and intrigue. The climax of these stories always takes you by surprise, keeping you hooked until the finish. At the end of each tale, Heston offers us moral lessons that encapsulate the prevalent themes of the relevant story. The narrative delves into various genres, such as satire, suspense, comedy, and thriller. I enjoyed every tale in this collection, and if you're a short story fan, you will too."
