The Ones That Got Away

The Ones That Got Away

These thirteen stories are our own lives, inside out. A boys summer romance doesnt end in that good kind of heartbreak, but in blood. A girl on a fishing trip makes a friend in the woods whos exactly what she needs, except then that friend follows her back to the city. A father hears a voice through his baby monitor that shouldnt be possible, but now he cant stop listening. A woman finds out that the shipwreck wasnt the disaster, but who shes shipwrecked with. A big brother learns just what he will, and wont, trade for one night of sleep. From prison guards making unholy alliances to snake-oil men in the Old West doling out justice, these stories carve down into the body of the mind, into our most base fears and certainties, and theres no anesthetic. Turn the light on if you want, but that just makes for more shadows.
