The story "Shrine of Carp" is all of a page and a half long and describes a late-night taxi ride in Shibuya, Japan. The protagonist/author finds that the taxi he's climbed into has an interior plastered with pictures of carp (apparently a symbol of good luck in Japan) and as he is driven home he has a minor revelation -— he momentarily grasps what he and his carp-obsessed cab-driver are doing there.
