From the bestselling author of 'Texas Dead' and 'Angle of Death,' a masterful short story about a man who was supposed to be dead.

At least that’s what his doctor had told him. Diagnosed with end-stage terminal cancer and a few weeks to live, Pratt decides to spare his family the agony of watching him wither away. Armed only with a ragged copy of his favorite author’s paperback novel (Hemingway) and a few things from his own father, Pratt ventures into the Idaho back country prepared to die quickly while immersed in some of the most beautiful country!

The only problem is . . . he doesn’t die!

If you love good short stories, you will want to read this one.
