Treading Water

By Adam Misner

Novel

The story begins with Simon, a skinny, blonde, twenty something who’s reeling from a rough breakup. To cope, he gets himself to Disney World and mindlessly rides a roller coaster there, again and again, doing his best to keep himself from thinking. Through the crowd he’s noticed by Morrigan, a ride attendant. She’s a goth chick born a thousand miles away, with very little in common with him, but she can recognize a kindred spirit.
