text:  The adults in these stories discover their own supernatural sidekicks. Maybe they're the product of an overactive imagination, or maybe they really do represent a visitation from the beyond. In one story, that friend is a unicorn. In the next, it's a cockroach. And in the third, it's a sentient iPhone. And in each story, our narrators are forced to ask themselves about the nature of this strange presence and whether its imperfect attentions are worth the strife.
