Storylandia Issue 13 Kelly Ann Jacobson

Three on the Bank is a novella that begins from the perspective of Sam, the sole survivor of a bus accident on his wedding day, and follows him as he descends from his life as a successful lawyer into a world of drugs, alcohol, and night-dwellers. There he meets Marissa, a single mother and fellow bartender, who recognizes him as the man they found along the river. When Sam does not show up to work one day, Marissa finds him passed out in his apartment and brings him home, then introduces him to her precocious seven year old son, Joey. Although Sam is afraid to be close to a child again after his pregnant wife's death, eventually Joey's caring nature and Marissa's patience help him overcome his fear. More information at www.
