The Cliche (and other short stories for the American attention span)

LIFE IS A JOURNEY... RIGHT INTO THE ABYSS. Exactly what goes through a man's head when misfortune buries him in an avalanche of life-changing events? Told from a decidedly male perspective, The Clich? documents nine-months in the life of a man struggling to survive an epic run of bad luck, impulsive decisions and karmic payback. We join our Hero, failing to cope with life after his wife of 10 years leaves him for their Pool Guy. And so begins his journey from one raging inferno to another. In addition to the vast complications of his divorce, our Hero must face the ongoing challenges of: falling in love with his Future Ex's best friend, an ill-fated decision to grow 200 marijuana plants in his garage, raising three children as a newly single parent, and accepting personal accountability for his lot in life. As events collide, it's an increasingly gritty picture of one man's emotional turmoil in his quixotic journey to find love, stability and redemption. Will our Hero enjoy the ultimate clich? and live, "Happily ever after"? Don't count on it.
