Salmon's Kitchen

by H. Kaeppel

Salmon is his own enemy. By happenstance more than plan, he is the father of a larger than average family in the rural region where he grew up a wild, lawless teen. Misty left. An action that undermines Salmon's sense of who he is. He recalls his colorful past to figure out how this red-haired, fiery tempered woman became the center of his world. A world that is crumbling. His oldest son injures himself in a drunken accident. His oldest daughter runs away. His bosses at work endeavor to take more advantage of him than usual. His friend betrays him. At his weakest, he falls prey to a seductress. Working obsessively becomes his vice. He ignores his children and the faith that once rescued him from his youth. All he wants is what he doesn't deserve, what he's never deserved: Misty.
