Life in Cythera

Cythera, the city that obeys Murphy's Law faithfully (if something can go wrong, it will) is revisited in two tales, outlining one mishap after another. In the first tale, a day in the life of a taxi driver is examined. Fred, the driver, encounters more than his fair share of oddball characters and zany predicaments. And a visitor is on hand to take note of a city that never ceases to confound the rational mind. In the second tale, a mayoral election is being held, and the fate of Cythera rests upon which of the candidates succeeds in amassing the most votes. The trouble is, Why would anyone want to be the mayor of the city that never ceases to confound the rational mind?
