The Few
by Samuel D Hunter
What happens when a man drops out of sight, abandons his labour of love and then suddenly pops up again? His former partner certainly has a thing or two to say on his return. And what has happened to Bryan’s newspaper for truckers in the meantime? His new co-worker is filled with incessant adoration, and his paper is filled with personal ads. As he considers giving up for good,Bryan searches for what he couldn’t find on the road: a way to keep faith in humanity.
