About this ebook
Percy’s given up. He’s given up and wants to be as far away as possible from the place that has been the source of his troubles all his life. But to his disappointment, he finds himself in the last place he expected. And a chance encounter with a redneck and a stubborn hound dog aren’t helping, either. That is... until they do.
Invincibility can be found in the strangest places.
This short story by JF Smith imagines that, perhaps, very big things can happen in very small moments.
