Long Way Home: A Ficlet Novelette

By Terry F. Torrey

A nameless everyman thumbs a ride on a dark highway, running from feelings that he has wasted his his youth, his life.

 

But where is he running to?

 

Now, as he sets out to retrace the past that brought him to his present, his journey threatens to give him answers he won't like to the questions swirling inside him.

 

If you like dramas where characters search for meaning and redemption in the fleeting rush of life, and find hope, you'll love Long Way Home.

 

This short novel adheres to a form where where every scene is limited to a "ficlet", a block of text no longer than 1024 characters. The result is as beautiful as it is brief, as powerful as it is poetic.
