Author Description

We have all been broken and found ourselves adrift. Sometimes the only way to find our way home, is to run away. Michael is an average guy. He has one of those faces that you've seen before, but just can't quite place. He won't dazzle you with his stories at the party, but he'll be there to help you move the next day. He has a home in the suburbs, a wife he loves, a dog at his side, and a baby on the way. He can't complain, and rarely does. But when tragedy strikes, something inside him snaps. His false sense of inner strength is blown apart along with the circuitry in his brain. All those things he had buried come rushing forth and threaten to pull him under. He falls into a series of fugue states, and his body works on autopilot while his mind tries to repair itself. Soon he is hundreds of miles away from home, on a bicycle, not entirely sure how he got there. He is on the run, yet he has left nothing behind. Every failure and misstep that led him here continues to pick at his brain and torture his soul. His only hope is forward motion. As he rides down the Pacific Coast, he hopes that beauty he sees will somehow repair the ugliness he feels inside. Mile after mile, he tries to remember what happened, and how to find his way home.
