Voici de nouvelles histoires où le hasard est roi. Pour être juste, personne n'a vu le hasard dans aucune de ces histoires. Chacun a imaginé une cause correspondant à sa philosophie de l'existence : Dieu bien sûr, qui voit tout, prévoit tout, de toute éternité ; la fatalité qui rejoint le destin pour basculer plus aisément dans l'horreur ; la vie, le milieu, l'éducation, l'enfance meurtrie qui inconsciemment nous guident vers cette confrontation fatale.
