short story

 

 "Short and sweet, with an ending I didn’t expect. I’ll be on the look out for more from this author.”

– Lia Ce

 

Daniel Gordon is having a really bad day. An incoming storm is making the coastal road he’s driving more treacherous, he’s late for his tenth wedding anniversary, and he’s just been fired. If things weren’t bad enough, his car slides into a railing on the edge of the cliff. 

​

Now he’s wet, has a flat tire, and must find a way to explain to his wife that they relocated for nothing. As he looks for the jack, he comes across his old saxophone, and decides to play out his frustration to the ocean.

​

He gets an unexpected reply.  

​

Can a strange encounter, on a dark and lonely road, forever change the course of a man’s life?
