The stories in Destiny's Telescope illuminate the moments when life spins in unexpected and inexplicable ways. A girl with a deadly allergy to the sun ventures out-of-doors. A businessman abandons his sports car in the middle of a traffic jam. A small-town waitress orders her favourite breakfast for a motorcycle-riding stranger. A Lolita-chasing man has a run-in with a mysterious black taxicab on a busy street and goes for a different kind of ride. Sometimes, destiny does wait.
