Holler / I Start Over (Storycuts)

Zusatztext

<p>In 'Holler', when his wife throws him out, Tom shacks up with the family of a casual girlfriend.

He treats himself to a souped-up 1959 Chevrolet, and this indulgence might just be what he needs to start over.</p><p>Part of the Storycuts series, this short story was previously published in the collection<i>Knockemstiff</i>.</p>
